Pumpkin Scones

I love Sunday mornings and they tend to be the day that I indulge in baking a breakfast treat. I don't make these very often ... mainly because I end up eating the entire batch ... albeit not in one sitting! They are the perfect combo of moist and delicate. I added a maple glaze that was the perfect touch.

Winter

I have had these two huge pots flanking our garage doors for at least seven years. They were a bear to get home and feel lucky they have lasted as long as they have ... The Northwest is not exactly terra cotta weather conditions. We'll have to figure out what to do until Costco starts carrying their glazed pots in the spring. Yet another reason to be sooooo over Winter!

National Championship

SO PROUD OF OUR DUCKS! They fought hard!!!

Bring it!

GO DUCKS!!!

Go Ducks!

These photos were from the 2010 Rose Bowl. This year we're playing for the big one baby ... National Championship on January 10! woot woot! Sadly, with ticket prices hovering around $800.00 - $1,200.00 (and higher!), we'll be rooting from home. I'm pretty sure they'll hear us in Glendale.

Winter Centerpiece

I found a new blog that I am loving. Jennifer's designs are so inspiring and creative that I spent the better part of a day mesmerized. When I spied this centerpiece, I knew I had all the supplies to create my own ... something new without spending a dime.

Happy New Year!

I'm a little behind schedule since we've been sick around here.

We celebrated with:



And had a lovely dinner:



See those little votive candles? I just picked them up at Crate and Barrel and love them. I've always thought fake candles were a little cheesy until I spied these ... I think they look more realistic with the little burned off wick. Their true purpose is for my built in cabinets where I can't burn real candles and so far visitors are fooled!
