Hello August!

8/1/2021

Here's to a great month!

Sakura is the national flower of Japan, the cherry blossom – translated into Sakura, represents a time of renewal and optimism. The proud pink blossoms mark the end of winter and signify the beginning of spring. Due to their quick blooming season, cherry blossoms also symbolize the transience of life, which is a major theme in Buddhism.

I believe mine are ornamental plum but they are still a very pretty way to welcome Spring!

We had snow last week and you can see the blooms are not as intense or colorful as normal, but still, nature finds a way.

Quick video!

Enjoy your weekend!

Spring is Here!

Okay, it might be wishful thinking as we had snow on the 16th, lol But the calendar says Spring is here and I'm going with it!

Hope you have an amazing Spring where ever you are in the world!

I will be back soon with more reviews and maybe some actual trip pictures!

Hey Valentine!
Sugar is sweet.
Lemons are tart.
I love you more than a unicorn fart.

Are you ready?

December Staycation

1/10/2021

Hello and Welcome to 2021~ I hope you are having a rocking time.
Okay, before we get too deep into this staycation post let me be honest on two points:

I worked my ass off in December. #Truestory
Nothing can replace the thrill of traveling to another country.

I worked all through the holidays because we really couldn’t jet off anywhere and I was happy to have the opportunities presented to me.

Work = more money for travel, after all

Plus we have to wait until the pandemic is over to do much of anything, because it is still raging in the US. So we tried to make the most of life by cooking, (and eating) new dishes, saving for that BIG trip, and getting clear on where we want to live next.

Greece?

Back to Rome?

Australia?

So many possibilities!
I'm also working on a December food diary post - And before you ask, yes I will include the recipes. I made everything from Vegan Ch'kin and Dumplings to Apple Pie last month.
