– Ah, these lovely, soft pink flowers… are they not utterly gorgeous? I simply could not resist purchasing them while grocery shopping – perhaps – a week ago? The day after our arrival home from the United Kingdom, I believe? Quite some time has passed since we returned from our recent trip – if only the weeks did not fly by so quickly. How is it already December?

– Regarding the photographs of the sky featured above… I shot those images nearly two months ago, and have neglected them for a long while. The cloud formations awed me. They seemed to resembled water color paintings. Beautiful.

– The holiday season has officially commenced! My Christmas baking began this very morn {cookie recipe coming soon}, it was absolutely wonderful, to say the least. My family has yet to acquire a tree, however… but that issue shall be remedied this very evening. Only a few weeks until the big day itself – I’m so eager for it to arrive! Merry (almost) Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!

– A Currant and Orange Marmalade Tea Cake

– Roasted Acorn Squash and Apples with Quinoa, Kale, and Tahini Maple Dressing. Amazing.
