Happy little moments



I was so happy when I walked outside today and saw one lonely little sweet pink rose blooming.
Thought the rose bush had gone to sleep for the winter but was a pleasant surprise to be able to pick it and now admire it, in a vase on my kitchen windowsill. The fragrance is lovely too

This delicious dessert was what I devoured at Masu ( a Japanese Restaurant - one of my favourites ) where we went to celebrate yet another birthday - this time it was my husbands ... Happy birthday my darling.
The pavlova, with sweet miso, tamarillo and guava chilli sorbet was very yummy and have had my dose of sugar for a long time.

The sun has been shinning the past few days here so I have been making the most of my time outdoors, cleaning up in the garden.
Do more of what makes you happy

Hope all is well with you and that you are enjoying the week

hugs
Carolyn

  8. Happy birthday to your husband, and what a way to celebrate, the pavlova looks a show stopper.
    Delectable rose, but I am coming to the conclusion that winter doesn't spread her wings very far into your corner of the world - sun shinning, roses flowering!

  14. Carolyn, your pink rose is soooo pretty. I see one pink rose right now blooming in my garden as I write this and thinking of you. Happy Birthday to your dear husband. How funny that both of our birthdays and our husband's birthdays are in May. Isn't that something?

    Have a terrific rest of the week, Carolyn.

    love, ~Sheri

  25. Dearest Carolyn,
    What a lovely rose and delicious Pavlova with different sorbets looks invitingly.
    Yes, do more of what makes you happy we should adhere to more seriously.
    We enjoyed a lovely 8-day vacation and now catching up at home; the punishment for being away...
    Hugs and happy weekend!
