Back from a crisp night walk taking the dogs down to the park ~ watching Orion in the cold sky, feeling warm and muffled in scarves (want one of these). We are greeted by a nasturtium-orange fire of coals and daffodil flames, and I curl up into the rocking chair I just found yesterday when I had a "feeling" I ought to stop by my favorite thrift shop. I made chocolate beet muffins this afternoon, and they are delicious, not beet-tasting, and a deep chocolate red color. Tim, and I quote, said, "This muffin is one of the best things I've eaten, ever."
Bliss.
I want to make these pancakes for breakfast at some point this week.
And, photos that have been inspiring me lately ~ One Two Three Four Five ~ and also this video.
What's making you smile these days?

Thank you for your nice comment! Your oven makes such a comfortable atmosphere! In one of my last flats I had also an oven to heat with wood. I liked it a lot.
pancakes for breakfast sounds lovely. it's been a while since i made some.
my camera and some hot coffee is making me smile these days, as it just gets really cold on the rainy nights. :) x
wide-eyed ~ oh, that sounds fun! I grew up with a wood stove but it's been ages and is so nice to have one now: our house has been quite chilly!
sarah ~ that too is a great combination ~ your last sentence sounds like a little poem :)
chocolate beet muffins sound delicious!
i am smiling thinking about going home. it is the best thing to happen for me in a while <3
Orion is one of my favorites. And that beet chocolate muffin recipe has me intrigued! My youngest is home from college and she ADORES beets, so I may surprise her later today with a batch! Thanks for sharing.
sara ~ going home is always a good one :)
Karen ~ the muffins are so delicious!! Hope your daughter likes them too :)
