Morning Time

This morning when I woke up the sheets on my bed were tangled.

That usually never happens.

I’m one of those people that goes to sleep at night and when I wake up in the morning I can fold over the covers; slide off the mattress and fold back the covers and the bed is instantly made. Really kind of a great start to the day… every day.

Not this morning!

Something I should mention… I’ve been living at my mum’s house for the past 6 1/2 months. After spending the last 12 years on my own I’m back. I also have a house for sale in Lansdowne Ontario that’s got all of my possessions held captive. I miss my space!

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Can I just say….. when I got home it smelt like summer and I soon realized this is why!

My mum made PIE! Sweet!

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

2 cups strawberries

For the crumble on top

1/2 cup of all-purpose flour (or gluten-free as above)
