WREATHMAKER

Lilacs, tulips, lungwort, Solomon's seal

Victoria Day is usually the weekend we Manitobans head for the campgrounds and cottages, or have that  longed-for family picnic. Not this year! We have had strong winds, and rain changing to sleet and snow. So it might be a good idea to do a little baking... I found a recipe for a simple cheesecake with a hidden fruit surprise in the filling. I assembled the ingredients. I made a bing cherry filling using frozen cherries. The recipe size was just right for my heart shaped spring form pan. Time to steep a cup of fruit herbal tea and leaf through a copy of a summer-themed magazine and pretend we don't have snow on the ground! The cup and saucer is Shelley Blue, one of my favorites. Enjoy your day, wherever you are,
