Valentine's Day is for all kinds of love and friendship. I celebrated by leaving a couple of homemade fudge brownies for the sick neighbor.
I wrapped them for the freezer because I doubt if she can deal with them today, what with chemo and radiation. But one day.. meanwhile she'll know they're there, ready for when she's up for it.
Here's my many-years-old heart mobile, made during an intense mobile-making period, hanging in the kitchen. There are others. One day we'll do a viewing.
And today's celebratory lunch, salmon fritters
And planned for afternoon tea
Happy day everyone, enjoy it your way.
I bet those fritters are good!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day to you! May it all be as sweet as those brownies.
Thank you!
DeleteI made a mobile once. I emphasize "once". I will enjoy a viewing. Salmon fritters! Yum. I had a brownie today. I couldn't keep those around, I'd eat them all. Maybe it's a good thing I am not your neighbor.
ReplyDeleteThese brownies are so rich that two is my outside limit. I'll get it together and show you whatever mobiles are still around.
DeleteSuch a lovely mobile, Boud, and an even nicer gesture to make brownies for your neighbor. Happy ♥️ to you.
ReplyDeleteBack atcha, B!
DeleteWe hope you are enjoying St Valentines Day. Sun shone on us and as it is school holidays this week lots of families were out together at the allotments. The place has new life at last.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the allotments are a social center as well as gardens.
DeleteWhat a lovely gesture. Happy valentines to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angela!
DeleteHave a wonderful Hearts Day!
ReplyDeleteI did, but I didn't score any kitty hearts with grudging messages on them!
DeleteOn vacations I amused myself constructing mobiles from common objects along the way. Going west I collected sage, sanded it down with a broken bottle fragment and hung the pieces from a spiral formed from a found coat hanger. I turned it in as a geometry project, and had quite the discussion defending it's "properties" to the geometry teacher.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds very enterprising, wish I'd seen them.
DeleteHow kind of you to take (future) brownies to a neighbor who's feeling ill from chemo and needs some lovin'. The gift will be appreciated twice.
ReplyDeleteI hope she'll feel well enough to enjoy them soon. She's put them in the freezer for now.
DeleteShare the love day has probably been and gone now…..sounds like you did plenty to enjoy it - and gave plenty to others to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteIt did go well, yes. And I hope it cheered my neighbor, coping alone, daughter far away.
DeleteI started a clear out of the room under the stairs yesterday. I found remnants of my sewing, cross stitch and rug hooking periods which I will attempt to give away. Great memories!
ReplyDeleteLove the mobile! The grandkids would love making those!
The mobile idea about the simplest one you can do, great for kids, however old they are!
DeleteMm salmon fritters, fudge brownies. Yum. Good Valentine gift.
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice selection!
DeleteHappy, albeit now belated, Valentine's Day. We celebrated by going out for breakfast which is far cheaper than supper any day of the week. Our supper was leftovers from our Christmas meal of appetizers that had been stored in the freezer.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good all around. I can happily make a meal of appetizers.
DeleteMy head was elsewhere, and I missed V-Day and the day after.
ReplyDeleteWe'll consider this s very early greeting for next year.
