Wishing you a lovely day!

Formal Floral
We had a lovely wedding at the Bed & Breakfast yesterday. Amazingly, we had a break in the rain and the sun came out for the wedding. This, however, is a picture that I took indoors while it was dark and rainy out.

We, at The Morning Star, wish the wedding couple all the best!
Happy Mother’s Day
One of the traits that I picked up from my mother is a passion for flowers: for flower gardening, for creating beauty to be shared, for filling the house with blooms.
Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! Thank you for all that you have given me!
And Happy Mother’s Day to the many, many mothers who – amongst all of the other gifts that you give to your your children – teach them to see beauty in the world.
Sunny Stargazers
Though it is a cold, gray, wintry day outdoors, inside the house it is warm, colorful and “sunny”.
As always, wishing you a lovely day!
Happy New Year’s Eve (with a Mocktail & a Cocktail)
Wishing all of my followers a healthy, happy, and inspiring 2015!
Here is a mocktail recipe and a cocktail recipe as we get ready to celebrate, with thanks, all of the good things in the year that has passed – and to toast, with joy and hopefulness, the year to come.
Berry Happy New Year (Mocktail)
Place a scoop of raspberry sorbet in the bottom of a Champagne glass. Add 3 fresh black berries. Top with flavored sparkling water.
Enjoy!
Sgroppino
Place a scoop of lemon sorbet and of limoncello sorbet in the bottom of a Champagne Glass.* Add a splash of vodka and top off with Prosecco. Enjoy!
• Sgroppini are traditionally made with lemon sorbet, vodka and Processco, but since I always make limoncello sorbet around the holidays – when I make homemade limoncello – I like to add a little limoncello sorbet to my Sgroppini. Sgroppini can also be blended for a slushy drink.
Happy New Year’s Eve! Happy New Year to Everyone!
If you entertain for New Year’s Eve, please make sure that no one who drinks will be driving.
