Friday five for March 22


Time for another Friday five!

Last week my daughter Carrie,  at Life on a Back Road, posted what she titled the "Tired Edition" of Friday Five.  This week, I've got to admit that I'm feeling pretty much like that myself.   But to continue ...

1.  Time last Friday evening with our dear friends Sam and Jenn.  Just a joyful time of sharing a meal and simple Bible study.  (This seems to appear in my Friday five often, because it's always such a blessing!)
2.  A great day of fellowship at church on Sunday.  We had visitors which is always encouraging, a great message from the book of James, and a productive, agreeable annual business meeting in the afternoon.  It was my week to bring snacks for the coffee break, and you can read about some of that (and get recipes, if you like) here: Weekend baking report.

3.  Great walking weather this week.  We got out three times (it's raining today and my friend was out of town on Monday) but on Tuesday we went for twice our usual amount of time, so I'm counting that as four times.  Below you see scenes from Wednesday.


4.  Getting out for a breakfast sandwich with my hubby yesterday at a favorite local spot.  This was quite possibly the best breakfast sandwich I've ever consumed, made on a homemade English muffin.

5.  Maple sugaring season getting underway here in New Hampshire.  There is nothing like real maple syrup!  The illustration at the top of this post is from a Tasha Tudor calendar, and she depicts what I remember from my childhood very well.  This is Maple Weekend in our state, and thankfully the sap has started to run so there will be sap to boil in the sugarhouses this weekend.  Mr. T and I are hoping to visit a friend's sugarhouse, but we will see!

And that wraps up this week's Friday five!

  1. When I was a little girl in school one of our readers had stories of Maple Sugaring and it always seemed so amazing to me. Glad you are getting some good walking in...I need to get back to my regular walks.

    1. Maple sugaring IS amazing, Arlene! I have such wonderful memories! The season is getting off to a slow start for some up here as it is so cold.

      Yes, I'm so thankful we've had clear roads for much of the winter and could pretty much walk at least once every week. Some weeks several times!

  2. The maple sugaring graphics are darling. What a gloomy day today after the beauty of the week well represented by Wednesday’s photos here. Have a blessed weekend.

  3. Thanks, Vee! You have a blessed weekend also!

    It was a beautiful week until Friday, for sure. Today cleared off to be mostly sunny, but very, very cold and windy.

  4. Was it the sausage and egg breakfast sandwich that you had at the store? Sam and Jim had that last year and Sam couldn't stop talking about how good it was. He loved it with the apple butter! I need to make more breakfast sandwiches for the freezer soon.

    1. It was the sausage and egg one that I had; Dad had the bacon and egg one. I didn't try it with the apple butter, but I will remember Sam's recommendation for the next time! I think the homemade English muffin just makes such a difference!
