Happy Monday, friends!

What a weekend. Saturday, there were no pictures. But there were nine and a half mile runs, plenty of iced coffee, and finally seeing ones' bestie for the first time in months. (Or maybe weeks. But it felt like years.)


Sunday was perfect. It started with a walk in the woods. Lily of the Valley were spotted, and they were magical, as always.


Sunday afternoon, Elizabeth came over and we baked up a storm. It started with a tart for a coworker's birthday, and then we needed to make an apple pie because who makes pies without also making an apple pie. Then, it's May which means it's practically sacrilege to bake without using rhubarb, so we also made a rhubarb coffee cake. Further testing is needed, but we may have found the coffee cake holy grail.

All in all, a very productive weekend.

How about you?

  3. Love lily of the valley! My neighbor has a bunch of them blooming in their front yard every spring and I have to literally put my hands in my pockets so that I don't pick them. For some reason I never seem to find them at flower shops, which I suppose is good since I would probably fill the entire house to bursting!

    All that baking sounds delicious. I'm hungry now!
