The Month of May

This has been another strange month. Lots of projects and not much else. I was supposed to leave today to go and see my grandchildren. I miss them so much and haven't been there since October. Now I will have to wait, and there's no way of knowing when it will be able to happen.

 First, a toast to Mother's Day and then a week later, my 40th Anniversary. Love some bubbly.

Still chugging along on my Dahlia blanket.  am uninspired to crochet much right now, but I am close to finishing it, so maybe two more weeks? I do still love the colors.

 And since it is cherry season, I just had to have some to bake with. This is the first bag.

 I made cherry almond Dutch baby, from a Smitten Kitchen recipe that I love. You can find it on her blog.

 Then I made cherry chocolate chip scones that were very yummy.

 For a proper southern BBQ, though, I had to make this recipe. I must say, I loved it, but maybe a wee less sugar next time.

And then, from the second bag of cherries, a cherry crisp. Very tasty, but I should have baked it a bit longer to get the juice to completely thicken up.

So May has been full enough. I hope you are doing well. See you soon.
