I am feeling more myself again. 
Wobbly sometimes but every one struggles in this life.

May God have mercy on us 🙏

Roasted Brussel Sprouts Recipe

I can never find my recipe so putting it here. Hope to edit and add pictures later.

My friend N emailed me this in 2019....

"I think I just cleaned and halved them, set the oven to 430 or so and warmed butter and oil in the pan before tossing them in with lots of nutmeg and some salt/pepper. Shifted them about a few times while cooking. Probably 20 minutes or so!"

the only charge to the receipt is we use olive oil instead of butter.... 🌸

beautiful 🩷 pink 🌷 tulips

The table is set. 

The pink tulips are a delight. 
Splayed out like ballerinas dancing and bowing.

I bought 3 cheeses. Tulips. A green smoothie. Dropped off my library books.

It feels so good to be back.
