The rain has been relentless these past few days. I miss those few sunny warm days spring teased me with last week. I miss being out in that garden patch. The smell and feel of the soil...
These things are out of our control though, so this week has been a respite from all that cleaning out and yard work.
It's been nice getting to catch up with all of you (I know I have many more visits to make)! Even though the rain has kept me indoors there still seems to be much to do. Fortunately though, I did find time to get into the kitchen, which was very nice indeed.
There really isn't anything more comforting than the smell of warm fruit and toasted oats. Top with a dollop of whipped cream, grab a chair and watch the rain fall down. Life can be really wonderful sometimes...it's always the little moments like these that just make it extra beautiful.
Here's to a lovely weekend ahead~

We've had crazy amounts of rain at our place, too. Thankfully we have a stretch of sunny days with low humidity that are looking amazing on the way! This fruit crumble definitely chases away the rainy blues, though!
