This recipe came about because I wanted to enjoy iced coffee anytime and not have to go through a long process to make it. The Starbucks instant coffee works great and it has a nice strong flavor, especially the French Roast.

This outdoor space is quite inviting. A wonderful spot to do nothing… maybe a little reading, drinking or napping. At night, it’s a cozy place to sit by the fire and roast a few marshmallows.

Vern, a retired teacher and Ruthie, an interior designer have worked tirelessly transforming their outdoor space from grass and overgrown rhododendrons to a place of entertainment and relaxation. They kept the color pallet simple, using mainly white and shades of green and mixing in other plants and flowers. For more inspirations and ideas, you can follow Ruthie on Pinterest.
Thank you Vern & Ruthie Cook for sharing your garden with us.

Back to school is not around the corner, it’s here! The calendar is filling up with activities, meetings and what needs to be done yesterday. When the school supplies are finished, the sense of “At least I got something done!” helps. This supply list is not mandatory, it’s optional. I hope you will find something helpful, fun or entertaining.

It’s nice to know that there will be plenty of rhubarb in my garden from spring to the end of summer. The one recipe that I often make with it is Rhubarb Strawberry Crisp. It came together from bits and pieces of different recipes found over the years and as a result, the combination is sweet, tart, tender, and crispy. With the addition of ice cream will make it even more delicious.

August 6th was the Anniversary of C.S. Lewis’s first BBC radio broadcast. In 1941 at 7:45pm, he debuted in England the first (The Law of Human Nature) of the three series titled, Right and Wrong As A Clue To The Meaning Of The Universe. For the next few years he went on the radio and did more group series, eventually all were collected and published in the book, Mere Christianity.
C.S. Lewis well known works also include The Chronicles of Narnia and The Screwtape Letters. Highly recommended reading.
