Dessert
They are super easy to make and take little effort as I caramelized apples in the oven and used store puff pastry. They tasted divine and since TF is finally able to have a little sweet, she thoroughly enjoyed the sweet intense apples and the flaky pastry. The house was covered in flecks of pastry trailing the floors behind her and a big caramelized smile on her face.

A crumble is one the recipes that is a good thing to have in the easy-to-grab drawer. It is super easy and pretty amenable to whatever fruit filling you have on hand and even any flour you have handy.

I love its nuttiness and richness paired with the lightness of the fruit. I think it makes a great pairing!

I love the sound of their chirps as they flit across and if you listen closely on a quiet morning you can hear the voice of their fluttering wings. It is a beautiful thing. Spring is almost here!! Yay!

But, mostly, of how amazingly lucky I have been to have lived and be living!
Sometimes though, things stay with you through all of those lives, despite you; indeed, without conscious thought. Like that thread of connection or perhaps and safe comfort of acceptance and acceptable. For me, through all the changes, ups and downs of my life - one thing has stayed constant - from birth to now ….
