Today I used my best friend’s cookie recipe to bake holiday cookies with my daughter for the first time. It was a wonderful experience for us both, hopefully one we’ll be able to repeat at Christmas with my parents depending on what level of dumpster fire the latest Covid varient omicron delivers. My husband and parents are vaxxed and boosted, and I get my booster Monday. E is too young to be vaccinated but is great at wearing a mask so we’re still pretty confident in our trip. Worst case we stay home again and make another tray of these to feel better.

My garden has been exploding this spring. These are just a few of our roses in the garden right now. When the pandemic started, I would "visit" our garden every morning and take photos of the new buds and really try to enjoy them ... literally, stopping to smell the roses. Anyway, I am happy to report that a year later, I am still "visiting" my garden every morning, something that I didn't really make time to do before the pandemic.
