of year where everything seems to come to life
let your smile be your umbrella
a bouquet of spring
the days are getting longer & the sun
is shining brighter
no matter how long the winter, spring is

Abigail's Love
Loves have
been on my mind a lot lately. Maybe it’s the fact that Valentine’s Day has
arrived in the local stores or maybe it’s just that I am a romantic at heart. Natalie Cole sang “I got love on my mind” and
it seems that I do to.
I love, love, and I love being in love. I got love on
my mind and its one of the most awesome things in the world.

Abbys Morning Rain
The rain started about 3
am this morning as a loud clap of thunder roused me, waking me from a deep sleep. Tumbling out of bed this morning, I opened my curtains and started the coffee maker.
I love the rain in early morning. I find something
calming about the sound of rain as thunder announces its arrival. As the smell of freshly brewed coffee wafted into my bedroom, I cracked the French
doors that lead to my patio breathing deeply as the smell of rain and coffee
mingled.
It’s mornings like this that renew my hope in life and
the future. Pouring a cup of coffee, I decided to crack a few eggs and make
breakfast. As the bacon fried, and my toast popped up a clap of thunder
announced the storms, voracious raged was
overwhelming the sky. Armed with my breakfast, I plopped down next to my French
door and welcomed the rising sun.
It’s day like this that remind me why I love the morning.

A Full Cup of Coffee
Watching the sun come up last Friday, I sipped on a
half full cup of coffee and thought about love. Love is an eternal gift that we
seek and treasure if were smart. Love comes from a heart easily broken and a
soul that is immortal and forever.
When I was a child,
I loved to sit with the older women and learn at their knee about life, love, and marriage. All the right
things I know about relationships comes from older women whose knee I sat at
and learned that the greatest lessons about love, heartbreak, and marriage.
Sitting in my chair next to my window,
I thought about love and smiled.

Banana Walnut Pancakes
Sitting on my patio this morning, sipping on a cup of
coffee, I closed my eyes and watched the sunrise. Mornings are my time. I
always use the early hours of the day to reflect on life, love and my own
liberty.
Unlike most
mornings, I had Banana Pancakes with Walnuts. These pancakes remind me of
weekends at my maternal grandmothers.
Grandmother Wade lived on a working farm where
the eggs were fresh, and the humming of the old fridge on the back porch always
made you smile because you knew homemade
ice cream was in it.
Sitting by my window this morning, I remembered my childhood
and smiles as I ate with fond memories my Banana Walnut Pancakes.
Banana Nut Pancakes | Just a Taste
http://www.justataste.com/banana-nut-pancakes/Ingredients
Produce
- 2 Bananas, ripe
Refrigerated
- 1 Egg
Condiments
- 1 Maple syrup
Baking & Spices
- 1 1/2 Cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon white sugar
Oils & Vinegars
- 1 Vegetable oil
Nuts & Seeds
- 1/2 Walnuts
Other
- 1 1/4 Cups milk
- 4 Tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- 3 1/2 Teaspoons baking powder
Directions
Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl then set it aside.
In a separate bowl, mash together the bananas with the milk, egg and melted butter.
Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet, stirring to combine, then stir in the nuts. Allow the batter to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Heat a large sauté pan over medium-low heat and add just enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan, allowing it to heat for 2 to 3 minutes. (See Kelly's Notes.)
In batches, scoop 3 to 4 tablespoons of batter into the pan to form pancakes. Cook the pancakes on one side until bubbles appear in the center, then flip them once and continue cooking them until they're no longer doughy in the center. Serve the pancakes with your choice of toppings, including maple syrup, fresh fruit or whipped cream.
