I would be amiss if I didn't talk about my one and only love, my husband, Frankie, shown above with 2 of our grandchildren and planting mums for me.  We have been married for 43 1/2 years.  You can imagine we have a lot of stories.  I wouldn't have wanted to share anyone of them with anyone else.  He is a fireman and soon there will be pictures of him with the new fire truck they just got at the fire station.

Chicken Rolls with Herbed Cream Sauce
I found this recipe in a magazine.
I give this recipe ** which means good.  It just needed a little more salt.

Nature

The first robin of the spring, for me anyhow.  My husband spotted several of them all in one spot, but by the time I got there with my camera, only this one was left and he graciously posed so I can take his picture.  What a lovely site!  I love birds...

As you can see I like blueberry muffins, and so does my family.  Here is another recipe.  A little easier, and the muffins are a little lighter in texture and also very delicious.  I have been using this recipe for a long time.  Recipe to follow:

BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
Makes 12 muffins - Bake at 400 for 15 to 20 minutes

Beat together with a wire whisk:
1 egg
1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. canola oil

Add with a wooden spoon:
1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
The zest and juice of half a lemon

Mix by hand a heaping cup of blueberries and enough flour just to coat all the berries and add delicately to the mixture.

Spoon in greased muffin pans and sprinkle with coarse white sugar.  Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden and done. 
Enjoy!

Day 10 of my project and one little shoot popped up out of the dirt.  So cute!  It's a green bean, the only one, so far.
