Friendly Friday Challenge – Special Treats

...thanks to Sandy this week for hosting the Friendly Friday Challenge https://thesandychronicles.blog/2021/01/29/friendly-friday-challenge-special-treats/

I have quite the sweet tooth but mostly for cookies or cakes. I’ve never been one for candy, other than chocolate. My husband also has a sweet tooth and he has asked me not to bring any sweets into the house for awhile. If I have one cookie he’ll eat three.

For the challenge this week I’ve gone back into the archives to search for special treats. I soon discovered that not all yummy pleasures have to be made with sugar. Fresh strawberries and homemade pizza are always special in our house.

Do you have photos of three objects? Join the challenge. There are no rules as too when you can join, how often or how many photos you have to submit….one, two, three or more. Just copy the link and paste it into your post and it will ping back to me. Quotes about trios are also fun.

Monday Windows – January 25, 2021

….thanks to Ludwig for hosting Monday Windows, https://mondaywindow.wordpress.com/2021/01/25/monday-window-january-25-2021/

On Saturday my husband I took a trip to Ball’s Falls Conservation Area. During our walk we came across this lovely heritage site owned by Mr. Ball and his family back in the 1800s. The windows pictured here are from the grist mill where grains were ground to make flour and the St. George Anglican Church which was moved to the site when the parish had to build a bigger church back in the 1960s. The actual move took place in 1974.

Sunday Trees – January 24, 2021

thanks to Becca Givens for hosting Sunday Trees

This copper beach has so much character and texture I had to show you some close-ups of its beautiful bark. It appears that Becca Givens is still on a pause. Hopefully she’ll return soon with more of her beautiful photos of trees.

Pull Up a Seat Challenge – Week 4

thanks to Xingfu Mama for hosting the Pull Up a Seat Challenge https://xingfumama.blog/2021/01/22/pull-up-a-seat-photo-challenge-2021-week-4/

The temperatures are finally beginning to fall and with that comes abandoned outdoor seating. Over in London, where my family has to work from home, even a spot at the end of the bed becomes a seat to work from and in the case of our granddaughter the floor under a desk is good spot to sit so that she can be close to her Papa.
