This and That

 

 I started this post on Thursday when it was our regular grocery shopping day. Then the weather turned from rain to at least sort of sunny and I was busy outside puttering .


 I think I've mentioned before that when we do our shopping GS M does their family's at the same time.
One thing he looked for this past week was a special pan for making baked doughnuts. A few minutes ago he brought up some samples that he made this morning.  He wanted my opinion and I found them quite tasty. Not  much like a yeast doughnut, maybe more like a cake one but then I've never liked regular doughnuts so these suit me better. 

The bite that was taken was unavoidable because he wanted to know how I liked them That's my story anyway:) 


 The nicer weather encouraged me to clean the porch and move some plants that had spent the winter there out to the back garden area. That meant organizing the ones that remained.  Funny how one thing leads to another and soon you're doing way more than you planned on.

Not much else happening around here. A nice quiet weekend. I hope yours is as well.

 

Thanks for coming by

  1. I love these illustrations! It is lightly snowing here in Montreal right now! I don't mind, really! The temperatures will gradually rise over the next coming days...I think gradual is better than up, down, up, down, easier on the health. Your blog header is beautiful as well.
    I am glad you are getting some things done and enjoying your time. My weekend is quiet as well, just the way I love it!

  6. I think Angela (Tracing Rainbows) calls it 'the cascade of tasks' when one simple little job turns into another dozen!

  10. The grocery store meme is something to remember these days even as prices continue to rise and rise. We have plenty of food on the store shelves.
    The baked donuts look good.
    I do love gardening and puttering around my house.

  16. That first graphic is so true. And it's something I think I take for granted.

    The doughnuts look delicious. I bought one of those pans, but my husband was used to raised doughnuts so he wasn't as pleased with baked ones as I was. 🙂 and I know what you mean how one thing leads to another.
