Wow!

It's been

Quite a long time

Since I posted!

So 

I'm going to share what 

I am grateful for today.

I'm grateful for

the yummy 

Sour dough crumpets 

I got to share with Cheryl

and for her pointers on 

how to control the heat in my pan

so I can get more even browning.

By the way the pansy

has nothing to do with crumpets!

It's just part of the prettiest

flowers I've ever grown on my deck!
