Just some pictures of some things that make me smile. The little elephant cream pitcher was my mother’s. The flowers are from my scaled down flower patch.

Easy breakfast to use up miscellaneous kitchen stuffs- a little rolled oats, 1/2 a boxed cake mix, bananas going bad, less than a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
Here’s what you need and do:
Preheat oven to 350° and spritz a square 9×9 pan with vegetable spray.
In bowl, mix the following ingredients.
1/2 cup yellow cake mix
1/2 cup rolled oats
nutmeg and ginger– a dash of each
1/2 cup chocolate chips
In another bowl mix together:
2 bananas going really ripe
1 serving cup Oikos Greek Pineapple yogurt
1 egg
a generous splash of vanilla
1/3 cup white sugar
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Pour batter into prepared pan and place in oven. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, the top is golden. Cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar, if you wish.



Saturday morning, an assortment of square vases were filled with lots of round flowers and the arrangements sent to different areas of the house.

The bees are intoxicated every day. They can be shaken or scooped off the sunflower faces, to fall to the ground in a drunken stupor.
