The Week in Pictures (May 6-13)

A picture is worth a thousand words...



How adorable is this little guy?  He's a little camera-shy though!



Fiddlehead picking in the forest on a drizzly Tuesday



Perfect for the picking!




Fiddlehead season is over, but not at our house!  We trimmed,washed, boiled and froze
the fiddleheads for yummy meals to come!



Do you know what these are?



The white trillium  - the emblem and official flower of the province of Ontario
I was overjoyed to find an entire field of them alongside the highway



Our crabapple tree in full bloom




Yotam Ottolenghi's recipe for baked eggplant



My first attempt at Victoria Sponge



Saturday, getting ready for a Mother's day celebratory lunch



Lunch at Red Lobster Seafood Restaurant



Sunday - Mother's Day - in my parents' pretty yard with my Mom and my girls


I hope everyone enjoyed this past week as much as I did.  Here, in Barrie, it looks like yet another beautiful weather week to come.  I feel blessed and thankful.  How was your week?

    your 3 generations of gorgeous gals!! All the photos are just lovely...that chipmunk is riot!! Oh, how I wish we had fiddlehead ferns growing here. Our forest is too dry, I think... Sending a big hug, Sherry xoxo

    Hello sweetheart,
    Everything looks wonderful and you all look so lovely and happy too.
    The chipmunk is adorable and you did a great job foraging for Fiddleheads.
    The Victoria Sponge and the eggplants (aubergines to us over the pond!) look delicious and I am sure they tasted even better.
    I adore seafood so your din dins at The Red Lobster looks divine.
    Sending you love and best wishes for a fabulous week ahead.
    Love Morwenna
    xoxo

    Love your week in pictures-- like some of the old news magazines used to do. Now you've reminded me how much I want Victoria sponge. Meanwhile I do not believe those fiddle-de-de-heads are edible. I think they are fictional creations written by Rod Serling in collaboration with Steven King. If you disappear, I know it's because they've escaped from your freezer and unfurled--around your NECK.
