I have always loved the fact that I was born in the beautiful month of May.
Spring is my favourite time of the year.
Nature is in all her beauty and usually it is not yet too hot!
Here are my cards and a new recipe for a delicious flourless chocolate cake.
which is made with 250 grams of high quality dark chocolate
3 eggs
50 grams of butter and 50 grams of raw cane sugar.
That is all.
The secret is to bake it for only 15 minutes so that it remains soft and very moist.
I received three beautiful red roses from my son and his wife.
They came with that lovely red rose card on my table above.
My daughter's gift is yet to come a little later.
It's a surprise, so I cannot talk about it here!
Isn't this card fun?
It came from a good friend.
The words were the best wisdom for this year's birthday!
Our 'bounce', or our resilience in life,
is what allows us to deal with the more difficult events that we may encounter.
Peonies continue to bring me joy all through this beautiful month
Their detailed centres are amazing.
I love notebooks and received this one
with a particularly beautiful cover designed by the British textile designer,
William Morris.
You can read about him
The first entry in my notebook is the one from the card I received.
That's true!
These last two messages were inside my daughter's birthday card!
May so far this year, has not been the warmest nor the sunniest month.
We have had gale force winds and rainy days.
I find rainy days can be calming when the rain is gentle
and I love walking with my red umbrella in and around my neighbourhood.
enjoying the freshened greenery and listening
to the pitter-patter on my umbrella.
A quiet birthday this year,
but filled with love and gentleness.
