![](https://www.magicwineglass.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/blueberry-scones.jpg)
Larry’s recipe for blueberry scones: “Take one part Red head, add sad puppy eyes and viola! Scones appear!” Well. Ok. It works for Larry, anyway.
October’s Bright Blue Weather
When springs run low, and on the brooks,
In idle golden freighting,
Bright leaves sink noiseless in the hush
Of woods, for winter waiting
Breakfast fit for Dr. Seuss

So, we have this really wonderful breakfast. It’s delicious. You start with a giant muffin tin, and line each ‘cup’ with thin slices of Black Forest ham. Then you want to melt a little butter in a saucepan and add cooked spinach (well-drained), cream cheese, and some good parmesan, plus a dash of nutmeg. Once […]
Wedding photographer’s mind at work…
I love my husband. He’s a wonderful, kind, creative, brilliant, intuitive, charming man. And I’ve known him for a while – since 1986 – so you’d think I would have some insight into the way his mind works. Yet, he surprises me daily… usually in a good way, ha! The table was set for last […]
Bridesmaid goes to Prom
It’s a pretty special day for this wedding fairygodmother. Four years ago, we married a charming couple. The bride was attended by her young teenaged daughter, who was behaving like a young teenaged daughter. As a distraction, we offered to do a photo shoot of her alone. Turned out that we all had a lot […]

The Spanish Fairy Godmother!
I just received a text message from a lady I’ve been conversing with in Spanish. (Thank heaven for Google Translations!) There was a phrase that concerned me, because I didn’t recognize it, so off I went to translate ‘hada madrina’. You can imagine how delighted I was to find out it means fairy godmother! Oh, […]
Lily du Jour

This gorgeous day lily is called Moonlit Snow. Larry gave me this plant for Mother’s Day about eleventy bazillion years ago. Ok, more than ten years, anyway. I planted it right out front, and it has propagated and grown into a healthy lily that produces these enormous blooms. Today, there are about a dozen greeting […]

Sarah Mottola was my friend, my neighbor, my bride. Not in that order, and not with those limitations. When I first met her, she was Sarah Todd, a guest arriving from South Carolina, with her beau, Tony Mottola. She and Tony were guests at the B&B many times, and early on, we said, “Y’all are […]
Wildflower Bouquet

The bride said, “I want my wedding bouquet to be filled with light, airy flowers… like you just walked out into a field and picked it.” Ah, romance. She loved it!
