Wild Blueberry Muffins

No late frosts this year means a wild blueberry crop - at least in my corner of the woods! 

An afternoon of conversational picking yielded a nice bowlful...

And a batch of whole grain wild blueberry muffins! (vegan + oil and sugar free) 

Presided over by a lovely daisy from the garden :)

Tasty with a dab of Maple syrup :)

If I ever actually follow a recipe or measure precisely - I might post a recipe... 

A Milestone

Today I made bread for the first time since early January! I absolutely love making bread, but I haven't had the energy to do it or much else in the cooking department. So taking advantage of a window of relative perkiness before my next round of chemo, I mixed and poured and smiled! I had to sit down and put the bowl on a chair in front of me to knead it. This method worked quite well - and the tall brown loaves turned out delicious! I forgot to take pictures of the end result - but you know what bread looks like :)

Grateful today for:

Serenades
Baby birds still learning to fly
Guitar music
Flour on my hands
Flax seed
Vacuumed carpet
Stationary
Books by Elizabeth Elliot
Crusty fresh slices of bread
Cold cantaloupe melting in my mouth
Soft hats
Scarves of color
Basil plants
New rootlets sprouting on cuttings
Brilliant zinnias on the table
