@ 14 oz can of artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
12 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, chopped
4 T pine nuts, lighted roasted, and coarsely chopped
3 T fresh parsley, chopped
1-2 T kalamata olives, chopped
1 (or more) clove garlic, pressed
1 t balsamic vinegar
salt to taste
Adjust ingredient amounts to your taste. Mix. Serve with flatbread. I cut Italian herbed flatbread into triangles, brushed with olive oil, and lightly browned on both sides in an iron skillet on top of the stove. (The bread stays flexible and can be rolled around the tapenade.) Enjoy!

happiness is Spring
dancing on slender green stems
lacey white snowdrop
"snippets of happyment" is inspired by a post on Rasa's blog happyment. I just love that word because it is a combination of the words happy and content. Sometimes something small can just fill your soul with a thrill. So, from time to time, I will capture one snippet of happyment and post it here.
These flowers, snowdrops, grow from bulbs and flower in early Spring. The variety here is Viridapicis. Here is a link: http://http//www.theplantexpert.com/springbulbs/Snowdrop.html
