Pour le petit-déjeuner




    Our lilacs have finally opened! The amazing fragrance is almost overwhelming as they sit here on one of my favorite linens.

About my peonies... (one of my favorite flowers) that I simply CANNOT get to grow well. I've tried everything with no success, so I frequently end up buying them. 

The flower that keeps on giving. As the petals drop, its fragrance is sweet and the flower retains its unique beauty.



         Spring and summer produce! 



To stay healthy I eat and exercise in moderation and avoid extreme diets or exercise plans. It's fun on the weekends to enjoy some of the things that maybe aren't on the breakfast menu during the week.

 The best cinnamon rolls are always homeade, however these are a definate runner-up. Made with simple ingredients with no articial flavor or color added.  









This morning I'm making French Press coffee with a delicous organic coffee from the
 Camano Island Coffee Company.
  History of coffee

    This is a local company that makes wonderful coffee.  I try to support our local farms and business when possible. To make french press coffee, the grounds should be course.  The measurements I use are 1 Tablespoon per 6 oz of filtered water.



               Boil water and add slowly to your coffee grounds.






Allow to sit for about 5 minutes.


Frost the cinnamon rolls while they're hot out of the oven.  How wonderful to wake up to the smell of these cooking in the oven!!





 Now let's get you a cup of coffee!






 Savoring each bite





 Du Café?
(I'm practicing French for my upcoming trip to PARIS - not an easy language! :)
