As the March wind blows the sun peaks in and out among the clouds... today the temperature nears fifty degrees.. snow is melting...there is a slight but noticeable change to the morning... stepping outdoors...I close my eyes and tilt my face toward the sun... a bit of warmth can be felt...songbirds sing...daylight has lengthened... there is new found energy all around...winter's grasp is slowly letting go...
also letting go are my apron strings... now, I do realize that the men folk in my family will not be too happy with me...but, you see...winter has been long...very long...and those long snowy winter days put me in a baking mode...but unfortunately for me... I also love to consume what I bake...I come by it honestly... I grew up in a family who love their sweets...some of us can manage this sweet indulgence...while others go amok.. I go amok...so for now...temporarily... there will be no sweets coming from this girl's kitchen...no cookies, no cakes, no brownies, no pies...and when my favorite little one says "granny I've come to steal a cookie"... I'll lovingly hand him an Oreo and leave it at that.~

No sweets in my house, either. I have ZERO willpower...sigh.
Glad you are feeling a bit of spring. It is most welcome.
Hugs :)

oh it has been a long sweet filled winter. But when my granddaughter says can we make cookies I can not say no but I did send her home the lion's share of them for her little day care friends at her other Grammies. and lord help me if I have oreos in the house.

But, of course...consuming what one bakes? How could one not? xo
Finally Spring!!!!!
Winter cold and snow makes all of us want to bake. Just the smell of goodies baking makes the house so warm and comforting. But what I bake I eat and too much of it with zero will power. We stopped baking three weeks ago and I have already lost several pounds. Time for Spring and long walks!
It seems unfair that some women gains weight easily.
With Spring on the way, and warmer days, there's nothing better than walking every day to get the metabolism going to burn those unwanted calories that are stored away. It's a slow start but it works in the long run.
Enjoy the nice weather Julie.
Hugs,
