Snapshots from my Spring album

Dogwood. A funny name for such a pretty flower.

The dogwood trees in front of our house are frothy with bloom at the moment.

Up close and personal with a dogwood flower. The coronet in the middle kind of reminds me of an artichoke.

I think I like spring so much because

it's the season when things that seem dead come alive again.

The world bursts forth with a million promises.

The impossible suddenly becomes possible.

It's so much easier to hope for things in the spring. Maybe that's why God invented it. Let's take full advantage of it as training season to grow in hopefulness.

Easiest Weekend Brunch Ever!

I love it when I can put something delicious together so effortlessly, using ingredients readily on hand. In celebration of the first weekend of spring, here's a nice, fresh, light, easy breakfast or brunch.




1 piece of bread, preferably brioche
Cream cheese
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 sprig of green onion or chive, scissored into bits
Smoked or barbecued salmon, flaked
Little bit of butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Toast the bread and spread with cream cheese.
Melt the butter in a skillet. Add the green onion and cook until just soft.
Add the salmon and egg, salt and pepper, mix and let set, then flip over to cook the other side.
Slide out of the pan and onto the prepared toast.
Serve with fruit and coffee.

Adjust proportions according to number of people.
