GLIMPES FROM MY WEEK

We look forward to the time when
the Power of Love will replace the
Love of Power. Then will our world
know the blessings of peace. 

~William Ewart Gladstone

The tea olives are in bloom
and I am still startled by
their scent every time I
pass them, heavenly.
I finished my Shawl
and think I would like
to knit another for me, 
this time in green.

 We made homemade pizza,
twice this week.
 Caramelized onions,
goat cheese, and kale
 Caramelized onions, blue cheese
and mushrooms...this one was
the big favorite and is going to
ruin all my dietary plans. ;)
I have reached my limit
with snakes, {one of the
joys of country life here
in the Lowcountry] especially
baby water moccasins
so
we adopted Betty Davis to help
keep them away from and out
of the house.  Now if I can just
get her to come out from under
the chair.
I hope you have a peace filled
weekend. Hugs to you.

Love,
Tracey

    I hope Betty Davis kicks a$$ in the snake department. I'm trying to figure where the snake is coming from. That's one of the things we don't worry so much about here. Thank goodness. That pizza looks dee-lish. The one with the kale, not the shroom one!
