Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . .
Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again. 

Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . .

Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained
from Google Image Search. Original site unknown.
. . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you.

Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all.

Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

    My favorite photo is the last one...the pastel blue sky in the perfect backdrop to add to their splendor. Beautiful sentiment written here my friend...

    That's beautiful. Thanks Leanne for sharing. I wish I had taken the time to notice the flowers right before they bloomed here. I think it went from frost on the ground - to the next morning flowers!

    I love how you captured the flowers before they bloomed...so beautiful. I am sooo ready for flowers blooming and green grass and the glorious, sweet smells!

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it.

Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies? Fir
