This is from just a few short weeks ago... Copper was enjoying the warm wind that was blowing.
And this describes me...I have been worthless this day. So much I could have been doing but I have not done any of it except the things I absolutely had to do. I have napped, and could easily go to sleep now but am afraid I would wake in the middle of the night and not be able to go back to sleep.
I wish I had thought to get a photo of the Apple Crisp thing my daughter made. She got a thing of puff pastry, and placed it in the cookie sheet...on parchment paper. She peeled and sliced her apples and I am sure added the spices. I did not sit and watch so I am guessing. She made an oatmeal topping. And I think it is where she added pecans. It was/is simply delicious. I love puff pastry anyway. But I could have eaten the entire thing, even without ice cream. And I do love ice cream with apple pie or apple crisp.
I am hoping to get up and be a bit more energetic tomorrow...
As for the Apple Crisp—what a fantastic idea your daughter had with the puff pastry! That combination of tender apples, spices, and a crunchy oatmeal topping with the pecans sounds heavenly. Even without ice cream, it’s definitely a treat that would be hard to resist. Maybe next time, you’ll catch a photo of it before it disappears!
ReplyDeleteIt’s perfectly fine to have days where you just take it easy. Tomorrow might bring a bit more energy, and even if it doesn’t, you’ll still have your well-deserved rest to carry you through. Here's hoping tomorrow brings a burst of energy when you're ready for it!
Oh that sure sounds good!!!
ReplyDeleteThe apple crisp sounds so good!! I hope tomorrow brings you renewed energy.
ReplyDeleteDon't be afraid to take it easy...enjoy it as best you can. Productivity is overrated. (Take it from an 85-year-old!)
ReplyDeleteSometimes you need a day like you had. Hope you fell rested and relaxed, not guilty.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think we need to take time off - time to just sit and doze and do nothing much, time to give our batteries a much needed recharge. There is always another day tomorrow :) xx
ReplyDeleteThat's O.K. Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest!
ReplyDeleteMother used to make apple crisp but no pastry with it. just in a pan, baked in the oven, it was covered in pecans and brown sugar, or just brown sugar and butter.. bob said his mother used to make her own pastry puffs and fill with meat, whatever they had and sometimes apples. sounds good to me.. I am trying to go with the flow of each day and not fret over what doesn't get done. as long as you do the necessary things, forget the rest. LOVE LOVE LOVE this photo of my Boy Copper... he is so handsome and the expression on his face is priceless
ReplyDeleteCopper looks cute! The Apple crisp sounds yummy. Take care, have a great week!
ReplyDeleteCopper looks so regal sitting there enjoying the wind. That apple dessert sure sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteLove your Pup and his regal posture in that shot.
ReplyDeleteTake it easy, nobody is keeping score!
Sometimes just doing nothing really recharges the batteries.

Love the picture of Copper.
ReplyDeleteNever feel bad about taking it easy, there are times when it's important to do just that!
The apple crisp sounds good.
Sending lots of good wishes to you.
All the best Jan
Copper is such a handsome boy and that’s a wonderful photo of him. As for how you feel, I would listen to what your body is telling you. I have had to learn this and I know how difficult that is at times, but sometimes doing the least is okay. Your daughter’s dessert sounds wonderful! I am with you on puff pastry :)
