ooh goody!

I forgot (like I do every year) that it was our wedding anniversary yesterday- but Ben never forgets!  He did a home delivery of this stunning bouquet of hydrangeas and peonies and lushness for me, just for me.  Am I not one lucky chickadee!

And today I decided to finish the silk ribbon embroidery on the sunhat, it's been sitting on the bench too long.  I'm thankful the bee also went according to plan- it's sure been a while since I've been embroidering bees onto bonnets!  I'm glad it's finished, and just in time for summer, too.

And although I am feeling much better now  (just not quite my energy levels back yet) the kids were doing extra turns with the cooking while I was recovering and Zoe proudly made a big dish of macaroni & cheese (and bacon) for herself and Ben and for tea the other night when the others were out.  Of course there were leftovers which she portioned into lunchbox serves, but she truly enjoyed cooking this dish so I took a photo for her :)
