Happy National Donut Day!

Todi

Liked this picture even though she was trying to escape 😝

We visited the McLaughlin Garden in South Paris, ME today for the Lilac Festival. 

We went to Smiling Hill Farm today. :)

She can be a handful and strong like the Hulk, but she is sweet and loving too. 💚

I felt special that my niece wanted to hold my hand while shopping. :)

I think it's a new fad cuddling baby goats. But oh my they are so soft and cuddly!! People were waiting over an hour but those few minutes were worth it. 

I think I'm going to try to eat local at least once a week. Grabbed themainah sandwich from Saco Island Deli and it was delicious. Why haven't I been there before?

 

Mmm chocolate

It's my day off so I wanted to do something fun.  I decided to check out a local chocolatier in Westbrook, ME called Black Dinah. They are a small operation that knows their chocolate and it's delicious.

It snowed today. Craziness. 

Banchi loves sunlight and blankets 

I cooked dinner tonight. It's Amish One-Pan Ground Beef and Cabbage Skillet served over rice. Mmmm was yummy. 

Found recipe here

Maple Sunday

Celebrated Maine Maple Sunday with a  maple soft serve treat at Merrifield Farm in Gorham, ME. 

The boys

My average day 

Todi wants me to wake up. Early. For no reason. 

This is me awake and he could care less. 

Kidding :) He is a good dog that stays by my side majority of the day.

Gifts from my mother. These wooden bowls are from Holland Bowl Mill in Holland, MI.  Now I can't wait to find a home for them. 

My Pyrex collection recently had a growth spurt for a particular color and patterns.
