Soup….can’t you just feel it coming??
Fall is definitely in the air here!! The days are less sunny and often downright rainy, the nights are much cooler, the flowers are fading, and leaves are falling. There is a fire in the wood stove most nights now. So I guess I should just embrace the fact that Fall is coming whether I’m…

Football (yay!), a fire in the woodstove just to take the chill off, and spending more time than what one should on the computer catching up with all the hub-bub of the week. It is cool and rainy outside and all those things just kinda…
Read MoreJust thoughts…….
As you may be able to tell from my recent posts, when it comes time to relax we either find ourselves on the deck or in the front yard. Both are enjoyable for different reasons and sometimes we have a hard time choosing which place to be! Its even more delightful when someone comes by…

Cheddar Cheese Crackers
These little crackers…….OH MY GOODNESS! So delicious. Can’t stop at one. Delightful to have all on their own or with a lovely glass of wine. I got the recipe for these from a cooking show I watched. They are better than the ones you buy that look a little like this. Actually, they are so…

Vodka martinis
Vodka martinis are my “FAVORITE”! A couple shots of vodka, (or so) a teeny tiny splash of dry vermouth, a teaspoon or two of olive juice, and then… shake until its super cold and pour into a beautiful martini glass. There are so many gorgeous ones out there. No reason to go boring! Then…

About Me
Hi, I'm Jennifer. So glad you stopped by the website!! I love cooking, gardening, and photography and this is a place where I can bring it all together to share with you.
I live in a beautiful area called Lake Quinault in the Olympic Rain forest. I'm married and have four children who were all raised here.
I'm always on the lookout for a good photo whether it be flowers, food, family, or the scenic area in which I live. So many things, so little time!
I'm looking forward to you stopping by, and me finding more and more to share with you ♥
