flowers in January and mom's for dinner

Is there anything better in the middle of January than a walk in the field to pick flowers?

I'll never say no thank you to a mitt full of dandelions .. .

not ever.

If the day had not already been near perfect . . .

we had dinner to look forward to at my mom by love's.

She's such a fantastic cook and since Auntie Loretta is there for a little holiday we had double the fun sisters to entertain us.

What made it more perfect yet .. .

was mom sending home a jar of soup that she had made . . .

so I could post it on the blog ..

and to enjoy a few fantastic lunches for the rest of the week.

Then. ..better yet. .
while my beloved was doing a few fixes here and there ..
we looked through her fantastic recipe box for some new ideas for the Mennonite Girls Can Cook blog.

We went home with a jar of soup . .
some leftover stuffed peppers from dinner .. .
and a stack of recipes . ..

It was a good day .. .a very good day.

Today is double date day. . .woo hoo.

All for now . ..
