Tales, Bear and Little go 3-D

Bear and Little and Arturo (not pictured) are about to embark on adventures in another dimension.
They are chomping at the bit to get going. Patience children!

Apricot breakfast crisp

Fresh apricots with a bit of sugar, flour and a grating of nutmeg.
Crisp topping: flour, oats, almonds, sugar, and butter (the usual amounts)
Finished for breakfast, just add yogurt if you like (I don't). Recipe here.
Art in the morning. Addictingly tart.

*originally from Smitten Kitchen, my fav food blog.

Healing Heart

Wounded hearts can heal, but it takes a long time.
Though the scar never leaves.

Tales, Yeti with a chainsaw

Mr. Cranky was concerned that there was no sense of scale in the last post about the huge trees that were recently cleared from our land. Here is a picture of Yeti with a chainsaw to give you some sense of how large the trees actually were.

*Yeti is rather small for an abominable snowman, only just clearing six feet instead of the usual nine feet or so.

Been busy

A huge tree has been hanging over our path to the studio for two years. Mr. Cranky has bumped his head on it for the last time.
Another tree has been hung up in the woods west of the guest room for even longer. Dispatched.
Our raspberries are ripe. Hello freezer jam and raspberry syrup and russian creams!
Gratuitous picture of the hens making a break for it. It was a great shot, but they are too fast for me.

Wolf loves pork


This must have taken forever to make. So creative and cute.
I meant to leave this up for the weekend, a little movie for you, but I got sidetracked when the sun finally came out.
Yay summer! Yay garden! Yay sitting around reading as if I didn't have work to do!

Tales, Annabel plays the accordion


I've seen two movies (liked both) lately that have an accordion in them, Bread and Tulips and Revanche.
My sister used to play the accordion, which I found hilarious and absurd at the time, but now I want one.
And a magic fairy to help me be able to play it well right away.
