A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. - Amanda Soule




What a beautiful day!

Silkie checking out the new flower & pumpkins bed.
Silkie and the girls enjoying the sun in the newly tall field grass! How many chickens can you spot?

Ever watchful of his ladies...
Believe it or not, this cat and these chickens go together like peas and carrots!  You will often find them all together on a sunny day, rolling in the dirt together, checking out the bushes, and having a grand old time!
Communal water dish, Tiger Lily and the girls will even drink at the same time.
Penelope very interested in what I'm doing!
Silkie making sure that I know he's watching me too!
 
We spent all day in the sun with our happy chickens and silly cats, the weather was warm and clear with a light breeze to cool us off when into the 80's.  It was the first full day off that I've had in weeks and so fully enjoyed!  Thanks mother earth, it was the perfect gift at just the right time...

Mother's Day Weekend in Pictures...

A new recipe tested and Rainebow approved.
My growing girl tried out her hand at a new thing or two... 
Flowers were in abundance and came from all over the land ...
As chickens where carried by my loving girls hand.
Sleep and relaxation was obtained for all those that were weary,
Just as sustenance was delivered to a mother's bedside by my funny breakfast faerie!

Fairy Tale Ending's First Catering Job!!!!

As some of you may know it has been a dream of mine to open my own catering business that I hope will someday morph into an amazing restaurant/bakery of magickal proportions.  A few months ago, to manifest this vision, I decided to order business cards, a banner, and begin advertising a bit (Fairy Tale Endings Catering), as well as start to amass a collection of serving platters, trays, cake stands, etc., so that should I get a job I have something to put things on ;).  Everything was coming along great and I was looking forward to taking a few jobs in the fall, when all of a sudden, out of the sky falls an opportunity to bake weekly for a local shop and a baby shower!  Whoosh!  Ask and you shall receive is right!  Thanks upstairs, I am glad to know you're listening! :)
So without further ado, I am ridiculously pleased to announce that you can now purchase my wholesome muffins at Crossroads Gallery in Duanesburg!  Here are a few that have been served so far, with many more on the horizon...
(Morning Glory Muffins)

(Whole Wheat Dark Chocolate Banana Walnut Muffins)

Also I thought I'd include a few picks from my first ever baby shower contract.  I was asked to do a few mini deserts to please the almost mama and here's how they turned out...

(Mini Carrot Cakes and Business Cards)

(Mini Strawberry Shortcakes)

I am so very excited to begin this new journey in my life and it just goes to show that Fairy Tales really do come true if only you Believe...
