Friday

You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.

Paul Coelho

Today we had perfect weather for an early morning walk.

 

 With rock collecting along the way.

For lunch I made olive bread using a recipe I wrote down some time back (unfortunately I can't remember where I got it from).

1-1/2 cups olives; 2 TBS olive oil; 2 cups flour; 1 TBS sugar; 2 eggs; 1/2 cup milk; 3 tsps baking powder; dash of salt.  Mix and bake in greased pan.

 It was delicious with homemade cream of tomato soup.

Saute 1 chopped onion in 2 TBS of olive oil; season with vege extract powder, New Orleans seasoning blend, garlic powder, black pepper and curry powder.  Add in 1 can of chopped tomatoes and one chopped carrot.  Simmer til carrots are tender then blend in batches.  Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkling of paprika.

Days go so fast and night comes so early this time of year.

This was the view from my backdoor around 5 o'clock this evening.

The waxing crescent moon.

Hope you are having a fabulous Friday!
