Instant Gratification

There is nothing like a great spring day

one that is not too hot

but not too cold either

kind of like Goldilocks weather ~ just right

that is what Sunday was like here 

and I headed out to some work in the flowerbeds

they were a mess

here is a before picture of my rock garden

which is mostly grass and lily of the valley

which has taken over this bed

my mistake for planting it here to start with!

it was hard work and this is one that I have to get new edging around

so hopefully next year I will not have this huge task in front of me

weeding and digging in the dirt is instant gratification for me

I love being able to do a job and see the results

I cut back the forsythia quite a bit last fall

and it is showing off for me now

I think it's happy ~ after all yellow is such a happy color!

the forget me nots have taken over a little part of the garden

but they are not here for long ~ so I don't mind that at all

so on Friday I told you about a recipe I found on Pinterest that I was going to try

and I made them on Saturday

they are so so good

sinfully good

there is no link for it on the web so I cannot blame credit the source

and there was no after picture ~ they are not very pretty looking

but tasty little things they are....

I used a muffin tin as I had that or a mini loaf pan

so you take a refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough

it called for the break apart but I used the tube and filled the bottom

of each well.  You then place a Reeses peanut butter cup upside down on top

of the cookie mixture.  Top with prepared brownie mix and fill to 3/4 full.

Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes.

and voila

don't blame me ~ blame Pinterest.

I could not sign off this morning without documenting a loss in our family

Patti was Trev's parents little girl ~ she just turned 13 

and she crossed the rainbow bridge on Saturday afternoon.

I will miss her kisses and Molly will miss a playmate.

Hope you had the best week-end ever

we have a busy week ahead ~ and will be busy making plans for

Mother's Day!

Have a great week!
