On the day we came home from the hospital, my husband brought me my favorite orange roses, and a few days later, on the morning of our son’s bris, they looked amazing in the morning light.

After walking the entire length of the ‘easy’ portions of the Cliff walk, we popped in to Chanler Inn’s beautiful Spiced Pear restaurant for refreshing drinks and Newport ambiance.

We visited the Margaret C. Ferguson Greenhouses at Wellesley College just to see something interesting in our own backyard. 

As usual, Aaron and Casey served up delicious Oscar-movie-themed food for their annual Oscar party

We took a walk and picked up some incredible pie at the Pie Bar in Florence, MA. It was late afternoon, so the sun was coming in the from the front window at a great angle.

My sweetie walked home in the freezing rain/snow with a gorgeous bouquet of early Valentines Day roses, and they look especially beautiful with the rain drops 🙂

We are so lucky to have friends who spoil us rotten! Our friends recently got an indoor smoker, they invited us over, and treated us to smoked olives, roasted smoked garlic bread, smoked wings with three sauces, homemade fork-rolled gnocchi (I helped!) with an applewood smoked tomato sauce, and peanut butter banana cookies with smoked maple syrup. Seriously!

We started off the new year right by hosting brunch for friends, and Mel made a delicious meal! Front and center: cheddar and onion scones … so good!

Most of Montreal’s Botanical Gardens were under a few inches of snow, but their greenhouses were open, and we had a magical afternoon wandering through the various fairy tale lands with gorgeous colors, textures, sounds and smells.
