A Cat, Flowers, Food, and a Book

 Hello my friends on this wintery Sunday. We went over to GD Kate's to meet her new cat, Peaches, who is quite adorable. Although she looks like a kitten she's actually a full grown cat.

Another lovely bouquet of flowers.


 My Saturday baking....lemon scones and Carrot muffins


 I requested this book from the library but it isn't quite what I had hoped it would be. The recipes are far too fancy for my kitchen even though the author's story of how she left New York to live with her husband in rural Ireland are interesting.


 That's it for today. I hope you're safe and warm wherever you are. Thanks for visiting.

  3. Grandma, it's around 40° here, so I would like to have, for a while, the cold weather you have over there. A delicious snack, and over there, it's a pleasure to turn on the oven.

  8. I think your granddaughter's kitty is a real cutie. My daughter had a peaches kitty, but she was orange. Your flowers are beautiful and nice to see in winter time. You do a lot of delicious looking baking....I'd be eating it all, I think. It is very cold here.....31 below zero Fahrenheit. Hopefully we will climb out of this deep freeze soon. Take good care.

  9. This sweet cat really looks like a young kitten. So nice! In my radio I hear about a lot of snow, storm and very cold temperatures. Stay save! You are as always a blessing for all with love, flowers, warm heart and delicious cakes.

  13. Kittens, flowers and fresh baked goods all sound nice to me. Too bad the cookbook didn't live up to your expectations.

  18. Wow! That cat does look like a kitten! Fascinating! I know what you mean about cookbooks that can have too many fancy ingredients or techniques, but you think it's going to be simple based on the title or cover. I really like Marion Cunningham. I find her to be pretty simple. Like her rescue biscuits. That is if you agree to use Crisco which I will on occasion!

    Your baking looks delicious. I have been a lazy cook the past couple days, but I will change that tomorrow!

  20. The kitty looks so cute and sweet. I do miss having a cat but Dennis is sick of litter boxes. That baking looks so delicious. Sure wish we were neighbors. Ha!
    Blessings and love,

  22. What a sweet kitty. First thing I thought was how big its paws are, but being fool grown makes sense. Carrot muffins? Yes, please!
