During today's walk, I was delighted to see spring emerging in the vibrant blooms of yellow narcissus flowers! These cheerful bursts of color are a heartwarming sign that spring is just around the corner here in the South of England. It's truly a joy to witness nature awakening after a long winter slumber. How about your corner of the world? What does the weather look like? Share your own glimpses of the changing seasons in the comments section and let's all enjoy the beauty of nature.

Thursday I went for a full moon walk around a small village in the South of England. Despite the chill in the air, there was something so magical about strolling under the full moon's glow, surrounded by nature and thatched buildings from another era. It's amazing how the cold increased the beauty and stillness of the night. It was just above freezing, but even that couldn't dampen the joy of being outside and experiencing the magic of the night. (I'm still happy dancing in the kitchen at finally being back in the UK!)
I hope you have a magical weekend~ I can almost see the weekend from here.
But there is something more building. It feels like a big change is right around the corner. Are you feeling it too? “When the winds of change blow, some people build walls and others build windmills.” — Chinese Proverb Speak soon~ Are you craving popcorn? I am and I blame it on autumn. For me autumn is a season associated with comfort and coziness. It's the time for warm sweaters, cozy blankets, and gathering around the fireplace. I want to watch my favourite old movies and drink hot coco and snack. Popcorn fits perfectly into this scenario as a light, easy-to-make, and warm snack. It also adds to the overall feeling of comfort and home. Its crunchiness and warm buttery aroma make it an ideal treat during those chilly evenings or any time. Carmel popcorn seems to be an even better treat. But OMG the amount of sugar is so dang awful. But what if we could cut the refined sugar and take it up a notch and turn it into a vegan treat? Plus add maple AND cinnamon for a super cozy Autumn vibe? Are you ready to try this amazing popcorn?? Vegan Maple Cinnamon Popcorn:
Ingredients: - 1/2 cup popcorn kernels - 2 tbsp coconut oil - 2 tbsp maple syrup - 1 tsp cinnamon - A pinch of salt Instructions: 1. Pop the popcorn kernels using your preferred method (air popper or stovetop). 2. In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil and maple syrup over low heat. 3. Stir in the cinnamon and a pinch of salt. 4. Drizzle the maple-cinnamon mixture over the popped popcorn and toss to coat evenly. 5. ENJOY! This vegan snack recipe are perfect for satisfying your cravings during the autumn season. Enjoy these tasty treats without refined sugar! On Saturday, October 14, 2023, we watched the 'Ring of Fire' annular eclipse as it made its journey across the United States. Our chosen location? The gulf coast of course! I made some snacks and off we went to claim our spot for the watch party. We ate, chatted with friends and watched the wildlife as the sky become darker and darker. The light changed as the eclispe progressed but didn't go fully dark. It was an odd feeling as the light changed from a "normal morning" to a murky twilight. You can see the difference in the light quality in these pictures taken as the eclipse was happening. All of this happend midmorning for us in South Texas. The next annular solar eclipse over North America won't be until 2046. So we were very happy to be able to watch this event. My son built a special viewing device so we were able to safely watch, but it didn't allow for taking picture. But what we saw through the device looked very much like the picture above. Across town on another stretch of private beach there was an elaborate wedding taking place. I drove around and saw tons of people gathered to watch and just be together all over town. There were many family parties and get-togethers. It felt like a celebration all around us. I'm so glad we were able to watch this magical event. Thanks for reading and wherever you are in the world, I hope you have a wonderful week.
Speak soon! Happy Friday! I am continuing the search for a vegan banana pudding / banana bread mash up. It's tough work but someone must try all these samples, lol. Of course, I used banana nice cream for the base, added in more sliced bananas, coconut whipped cream, walnuts and made a maple sauce for the topper. It was actually amazing, but may require more sampling.
Have a great weekend! |
