Gratitude for: life; love, family and friends; fresh food, water and shelter.
On the 17th Ann gifted me with a beautiful bowl; with which to continue exploring the “one bowl method;” on yet another aesthetic level.
Filling this beautiful bowl with Ann’s spiced pretzels, seedless grapes and almonds, this morning,
presented such a superb flavor combination in such a visually beautiful way ~ that my eyes filled with tears of joyful gratitude.
We spent that September 17th day strolling the streets of Cedarburg
and generally enjoying a day full of sights, sounds, smells, tastes and chocolate.
The next day Ann presented me with a lovely turtle amulet to mark my returning to sunlit joy.
(seen here in the bottom of the bowl after finishing today’s brunch) Lovely!
Then this past Wednesday Tanya gifted me with an hour long walk along the Menomonee River;
followed by a leisurely lunch;
and a bit of cash which allowed me to purchase a Lodge cast iron dutch oven;
in which to bake this totally successful, no-knead, sour dough bread yesterday.
M-m-m-m-m-m… Feeling so very grateful!
