Moments in time

On the whole, my weekend was quiet (and damp). I made panko breaded chicken tenders and twice-baked potatoes on Saturday night with chocolate chip oatmeal crisps for dessert. Tonight, I served a small fryer chicken stuffed with lemon and rosemary, accompanied by root vegetables, and cornbread muffins. I would hesitate to agree with anyone who said I was a good cook; I am serviceable at best. But my son seems to think I am. I will say that it’s nice to be appreciated when you make something good.

It’s also nice when you don’t have to do the dishes. {Thank you, son}.

Otherwise, all was quiet. I appreciate the silence all the more these days.

 

All was silent as before -
All silent save the dripping rain.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 

 

We found out the new squirrel-proof feeder wasn’t what it was cracked up to be.

It's not that I'm so smart,

it's just that I stay with problems longer. 

~Albert Einstein

 

 

 

I enjoyed several cups of tea.

May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire.
~Irish Blessing

 

 

 

And there was another lucky wing shot.

We do not remember days; we remember moments.

Hoping the week to come is good to you. I’m hoping it’s good for me, too.

Thanks for stopping by ~
