Keep Calm and Go Camping

It is camping season!

Our first camp trip is planned for the last weekend of May. The count down has already started!

We love to make S'mores.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup is my husbands favorite.

I like using York Mints or Hershey's.

If you have not tried York Mints, give it a try. I know it may sound like a strange combination, York Mints and marshmallows, but it is so good!

Yummy!

 

Flicker of the Campfire!

 

Another favorite of ours are Pudgy Pies.

We like to do several combinations with Pudgy Pies.

Fruit filling makes a fun breakfast pie.

Chocolate, peanut butter and marshmallows make a fun dessert.

Cheese and ham make a great super.

Do you make Pudgy Pies?

Do you have a favorite recipe?

 

Are you looking forward to any outdoor adventures this summer?

 

Spiders!

 Are you a fan of spiders?

Not me! 

During my school years many of my friends knew of my fear of spiders.

My friend Carol played a very naughty trick on me. She placed a plastic spider in my locker amongst my books. During a break I went into my locker to switch up books and grabbed the book with the spider. As I brought the book out, I noticed the spider. I screamed so loud and tossed the book up in the air. Everyone laughed, including the teachers...I have a feeling they all  were in on it!

Carol was a dear friend. I quickly forgave her for scaring me so. 

The spider in the photo is a real spider!

Thankfully he does not live at our house, but at my friend Lori's.

 My husband took the photos.

I stood far away.

 

Web

The spider weaves it, 

Swinging and switching

Her thread, running it

Round its frame,

Closing the last flat

Spaces in, to wait out

Her purpose of flies;

But at dawn, when 

It hangs spangled

With silver water, frail

Crystals of wet light

Caught so neatly and

Needlessly, it is not

Her web, but ours.

April Showers Bring May Flowers

 Bring May Flowers

April sees the birds return, scatters showers on leaf and fern.

May is a busy month. 

We are busy in our gardens.

May brings us armfuls of delight, Bird ~ song, warm sun and gardens bright.
