Love that this is part of what I see when I walk out the door.
I planted this clematis last year with the hope it will take over our front porch. Right now it is beginning to bloom with abandon. Can't wait to see how far it goes this year.
Love that Simon and I can find delight in similar things.
Love that my Mom was always so great about presenting food. I see it as one of the ways she was creative in her daily life as she was caring for me + my siblings + my Dad. It was, and is, one of the many ways she lives a very thoughtful life.
Presentation is something I have been working on implementing around here (been collecting great little white dishes at Goodwill) as we continue to encourage Simon to try new foods and I continue to focus on all the facets of vitality.

love the food presentation photo...that brings back a flood gate of memories for me! That exact combination was a typical everyday snack in our household and is what I make for my daughter most days.
Thank's for that little reminder that my Mom loved me and took such wonderful care of me!
Glad to hear you all are feeling healthy again!

Oh I love the evergreen clematis! and it will take over...no doubt!!! Mine stretched all the way across the front of the house over the garage. I planted one on each side. The smell was heavenly. But the mess after they're done blooming, not so much;)
For fun lunch presentations I love the bento box group on flickr. They make food look so fun. I love the whole concept of bento and use it as a way to pack my lunches now.Saves on plastic baggies too. My little way of going green

What a cool thought that the presentation of food is a way to be creative in our daily life. I've never thought of that before, but it's totally true. And super cool that you remember that about your mom. I bet that's something that will definitely make her smile (and isn't it nice to make someone smile?). Hugs!!

I LOVE making something look nice. It is interesting how something can look so much better just by it's presentation.

I'm all for presentation of food. It completes the cooking/preparing phase and is the start of the eating and enjoying phase :)
Thought you'd like this too, though no doubt you have seen it.

one of the gifts my MIL gave me was putting food items in sweet little dishes. She had such a collection of cute little plates, bowls cups and shapes, in sizes that would hold a couple tablespoons to big bowls. Whenever I see something like your plate of crackers, grapes and apples, it makes me think of her and I still miss her.
