Friday Fave Five

Hi there

and

welcome to  Suzanne's

So what was happening on the Island this week?

At least here at A Sparrow's Home?

Well, we had:

1. Some gathering of nature's bounty, which included a trip to Point Prim

for winterberry holly.

 We need to get it before the snow flies.

Beautiful red berries

along with some fragrant  bayberry branches,

pinecones

and some evergreen branches for winter decorating.

2. Some baking

Cheddar Cheese Casserole bread from Menonnite Girls Can Cook - delicious!

Perfect with Roasted Pumpkin Soup

(if you made this for the aroma of roasting pumpkin sprinkled with nutmeg alone, it would be worth it!)

and  Spicy Ginger Crinkles ~ perfect with a hot cup of tea ~ recipe coming soon.

3. Some reading

Notice the theme of each book??

This is what happens when you go to the library hungry . . .  :)

4. Some walking in a November wood

5 and finally some more kitty love

Blue-eyed Ruby

on her favourite perch ~ such a good-natured mama.

 
Well these are just a few of my favourite things from this week.

I hope you enjoyed your visit.

Thanks so much for coming by.

Happy weekend!

with love,

Oh such a treat to my eyes Kathie! Love your photos. Yikes that food looks good. hmmm maybe I should step away from the computer and have my breakfast now. Have a wonderful weekend.

[Missy K]

How lovely-- such a treat, and I am off to read that bread recipe!

[Sandy@Jesus and Dark Chocolate]

I ALWAYS love your pictures. I think it's because I have such a love for the outdoors and your pictures reflect my love of the outdoors in the same way I would. :) Those Spicy Ginger cookies look great.....do you have a recipe????

[Susanne]

Happy sigh being emitted here from all your lovely pictures and the "homey-ness" of your lovely post.

[Carrie, RtK]

First I was going to say that cheesy bread looked the best. Then I got to the shot of the crinkly ginger cookies. Yummy!

And I love the shot of red berries also.

Have a wonderful weekend!

So so lovely to see fall through your eyes, Kathie. I'm loving the red of those berries and can almost smell the cosy scents of home cooking.

[Lisa notes...]

I definitely enjoyed my visit here this morning. A visual treat and it got my mouth watering for the delicious food. If only I could reach through and grab a piece of that bread! Blessings to you.

[Barbara H.]

Gorgeous photos and sweet thoughts. That bread is calling out to me.

I love the music playing now though I can't tell what the song is.

[jen]

Such great pictures...I loved them all.

[traveler]

Enjoyed your pics this am and the music. Who is playing? What a beautiful way to start the day. Godd bless.

[karyn]

Gorgeous photos! I'd love to see how you use these berries and branches to decorate your home.

The pumkin and the baking look delicious!

[Jerri]

I have this overwhelming need for fresh bread now ...

Love the pictures of Point Prim and the red berries against the blue sky!

[Lorna]

As always, lovely Kathie ... Thank you so very much. Love you -

[Judy]

A visual treat, is right! I so enjoy your your pictures and the music....and I think I need a snack!

And the winterberry holly is beautiful...wish we had it on the west coast as well.

[Booklassie Dee]

Oh, my...it's a good thing I had just eaten when I read your blog or I think I would have reached right through the monitor and snatched up that cheddar cheese bread. So yummy looking! And blue-eyed Ruby - what a charmer! Looks like it is almost time to batten down the hatches in your neck of the woods as the cold sets in. Stay warm and cozy!

[Sweet Bay]

Those Winterberry are so beautiful -- have Winterberry growing wild on our farm but the birds have stripped them really early this year.

The food looks wonderful, and the kitten laying on her mother is the cutest ever!

[Brenda]

I always enjoy the photo visit of your world, everything looks so beautiful and cozy. Those kitties are just irrisistable :)

[Jean Stockdale]

Thanks for stopping by. I am so pleased my dil is willing to decorate my tree. I am not that great at it, and hers looks great. She has quite a knack for it. Plus I ill get to play with the baby while she does it. Good trade off!!!

I have loved to scrapbook and have done bunches of books, but my time is getting limited so I must make the change. I need to find someone who can tell me some tips. I will update the blog as I try it!

Blessings.
