But
don’t hoard them. Spread joy with them.
When
I approached a rose bush, the most delicate pea-sized buds and blooms caught my
eye and I had to gather a tiny bouquet. I collected them and searched for a
“vase” small enough to display them. Then I spied a vintage blue glass salt
cellar. There was just enough room for a couple of teaspoons of water and the
roses.
When
I showed my mother, she suggested I take a photo and share the presentation.
May it inspire you to spark joy in your home.
Go
Greek for Mexican
If
you’ve ever substituted Greek yogurt for sour cream, I’m guessing you were
already a Greek yogurt fan. It’s
thick and creamy and has so many fewer calories than the sour cream.
This means you can eat much more of it.
We
love our Mexican food in Southeast Texas. We ask for hot salsa and all the
toppings.
If
you’re a sour cream junkie, this might be a hard sell. Try it. Then try it
maybe two more times. I think you’ll come to the lighter side.
Upcycling
into yard art
The
same week I tried to fashion a bracelet from a Perrier can, I met a blacksmith
who’d forged his own serious arm cuff in the fire. Can’t top that. But I made a
nifty Chinese lantern as seen on Pinterest.
Does
your kitchen herb garden need some pizazz? I carefully cut long slits in the
can and folded down, as instructed. The strips bow out to form a graceful little lantern shape. Then I strung some fishing line through the pop top and
hung it outside to twirl. Look it up and try it.
