midsummer roses

Midsummer already!

This spring has flown by in not quite the way I had dreamed of all winter with the flood water in our basement but at least our rooms are all sparkly and new
and there is vibrant color on the walls to keep us going next winter.

We've eaten dandelion salad & fresh radishes
from our garden.

Today we made rose petal cupcakes!
I'm trying to savour every precious gift of summer.

The wild roses smell and taste divine!
Especially dipped in a little bit of sugar~

We've also joined some friends
in running a cute little cafe in Telkwa!

It's been busy, busy, busy
like a little bumbley bee.

YES!
all of you come and join us!
It's really cute! It's called 'Cointe' which means quaint in french.
We're helping to run it for 6 mths, and then maybe longer if it all works out. I reckon it could be great with a little bit of enthusiasm!

Love your ideas nellie! haha!
