chocolate cherry mouse

My friend Rachel brought a whole tray of chocolate covered sweet cherry mice to the celebration of my mother's life this past weekend. This was so thoughtful and apropos because my mother's name is Cherry.


Cherries are dipped in tempered chocolate, given sliced almond ears, chocolate chip noses, and red candy eyes. So cute! And yummy, too!

Cherry Pie

Here is my mom about 6 years old. She is so cute, a bit devilish. I just love those round glasses. She is the third of five children. She was given the same name as her mother and called by her middle name, Cherry (a family last name). This was such a perfect name for a redhead and unusual as well.
Cherry Pie is what her mother called her, and we do , too, sometimes. And let me say she did make the best home~made cherry pies!

Wintertime Beauty in Ice and Snow

"It is not half so important to know as to feel." ~Rachel Carson
joy--discovering the beauty nature unfolds.

wild and frozen--branches are covered in ice, then several inches of snow

serene....

tranquil, peaceful, calm, quiet, restful
