Oven-dried tomatoes

Sun-dried tomatoes sound so much more enticing; perhaps laced with a bit of the fragrance of whatever is in the air…lemon blossom, turned earth, mowed grass, wood smoke…

the reality is we don’t even dry our laundry in the sun any longer,

Holiday touches

my favorite way to decorate:  use what you have, what you live with, what you love.  If you love green and red as I do, you will have treasures to use….

a heart, a star
