Forsythia ....

Perhaps the best known symbol of early spring, these cheerful tiny flowers bloom on naked winter stems

White spring flowers ....

The charm of these white narcissus rests in the purity and the briefness of their appearance

Colours

Purple, violet, eggplant ..... accented with the vibrance of yellow, sunshine, lemon with a hint of magenta~ positively refreshing on a winter day


What a wonderful way of entering a home of happiness, turn this door knob, come in and visit.

Just had to share my new favourite colourway!


"Poppies"

Another wonderful wool image ....

Hummus

Addictive ......

Wonderful served with pita, crackers, bread and vegetables 


1 cup of chickpeas (keep the broth)
Juice of 2-3 lemons
3 garlic cloves
1 tsp salt
2-3 tbsp tahini (sesame paste)
1 cup oil (olive)

Blend drained chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, salt and tahini, slowly adding half a cup of the chickpea broth and half the oil.
Keep blending slowly adding the remaining oil

Serve piled in a dish decorated with chopped parsley, toasted sesame seeds or a few chickpeas. Pour alittle extra oil over the surface, so it shines

NOTE: Often I add basil for additional flavour

Enjoy
