I decided to share this simple and easy way to jazz up a boneless pork roast. I started making these years ago and have tried a few different variations. It always includes a little mustard for tang, a little something sweet (brown sugar, maple syrup or honey) and a little touch of salty via theContinue reading “Bacon Wrapped, Garlic Stuffed Pork Roast”

This yummy, comfort food recipe came to me from my long time friend Mary. She always made it for friends birthdays and we couldn’t wait to have it. After years of begging she handed it over. Since then I make it every once in awhile just because it is stick to your ribs good, makesContinue reading “Reuben Casserole”
Tulip, Iris, Crocus – Colored Pencil
Spring flowers always lift the spirit after a cold, long winter. With so many colors and textures to enjoy, I have been working on some of my favorites – Tulips, Iris and Crocus. This sunny tulip is a warm welcome to spring… Iris will not be blooming here for a few more weeks, but IContinue reading “Tulip, Iris, Crocus – Colored Pencil”
Fossile Hunting
Today was sunny and almost 60, a beautiful day. Took a walk to a little shale bed near my house. Did a little fossil hunting and took a walk through the the woods. These are some of my favorite shots. Found some very cool teal wood… and some cool lichens and moss… Liz
Manditory Walk in the Woods
With all that is going on, it is easy to let your work, or your home life, and all the other things happening in the world right now… consume you. I was instructed, by my boss, to get outside immediately and go for a walk. He didn’t have to tell me twice.
Dorchester Lake

We decided to head up to Dorchester LakeContinue reading “Dorchester Lake”

Daffodil – Colored Pencil
Today’s “botanical bright” is Daffodils! Now I’m really longing for spring. Daffodils (Narcissus) really are true signs of spring. I get so excited once the snow melts and you can see the tips of their leaves sticking up out of the ground. Once that happens you know that spring has finally arrived. I love toContinue reading “Daffodil – Colored Pencil”
Bacon Wrapped Cocktail Weenies
Yup, were wrapping stuff in bacon again. Can you really ever have enough bacon? I think not. This simple party appetizer came from one of my best girl friends years ago. She was looking for a quick and easy dish to bring to a party we were having. We all loved them and history wasContinue reading “Bacon Wrapped Cocktail Weenies”
Flowering Dogwood – Colored Pencil
Today I have a third piece for what I’m dubbing the “Botanical Brights” collection. I must have spring on my mind because today’s piece is Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida). I love Dogwood trees because of their open, airy canopy. They are a perfect mid-sized tree in the landscape. Dogwoods grow fairly well here in theContinue reading “Flowering Dogwood – Colored Pencil”
