Growing Raspberries – Fun or Chore?

Who wouldn’t love raspberries? They look so succulent, fresh, inviting, and delicious, right? While all of this is true about the fruit, growing them in your garden is another story.

Suburban Spring Flowers

Spring arrived almost a month ago, but you would not know that by looking at my flower garden.  With the cold spells, and even snow during the end of March and beginning of April, these delicate plants are having a hard time coming to full bloom.

The two unseasonably warm days of over 70 degrees F we recently enjoyed, really had a positive effect on the plants, and helped them open up a little more.

Today I will share a few of my photos I captured of the current blooms.

My husband and I love French Onion Soup, however, the ones we have been sampling in our local restaurants, are either too salty or quite bitter tasting.

I have been researching different recipes online to come up with one to try at home, which will closely match the taste we savor from upstate New York.

Roses and chocolates are most popular to impress your Special Valentine with, but these heart-shaped cookies are so tempting and delicious…:-), and so simple to make.
