Tasty Tuesday

 Mom can remember so well going to Seattle for the first time in her life and meeting her friend, Miss Lydia.   Lydia had made a salad that was to die for and mom made it for us.

Mom found the recipe online for Orange Buttermilk Salad~

Ingredients

• 1 can (8.5 ounces) crushed pineapple
• 1 package (6 ounces) orange jello
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

In a saucepan, bring pineapple with juice to a boil. Stir in the jello until dissolved. Remove from the heat; stir in buttermilk. Cool to room temperature. Fold in whipped topping. Pour into an 11x7-in. dish or 2-qt. bowl. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

OOPS~  We were supposed to take a picture before we sampled it and had to smooth it out☺

I am sure lucky to always be official TasteTester!

This salad is beyond yummy!

Yes, please - more please!

The salad is so simple to make and with summer coming up - it's the perfect salad to make for a picnic or for your family.

Happy Tuesday!

Love ya lots♥

A Chilly Tuesday Walk

 We had freezing temps overnight for the second time this week.   Mom and I were both dressed in winter coats and she had winter mittens and a winter hat on and she wasn't hot!

We are seeing lots of pretty tulips~

We are still seeing lots of daffies!

Mom was superExcited to see the Bleeding Hearts blooming!

We need to check at home and see if ours is in bloom too!

Happy Tuesday!

 I got a Cuz squeaky toy.  He's a good Cuz!

Mom says that the Airedales had a larger orange Cuz once upon a time.   He's the bad Cuz because he has little horns.  

 My purple one has an awesome loud squeaker and I really like him!

Happy Sunday!

Spring is everywhere!  We are seeing our first tulips this year!

The Star Magnolias are in bloom~

White ones~

Pink ones~

This Weeping Cherry is in our backyard~

Today, it's been two years since Molly passed and I am wearing her tennis ball bandana in memory of her.   

Mom has never mentioned this on my blog before but Molly and Mitch passed on the very same day years apart but mom didn't realize it for a couple of days later for obvious reasons.   Mom misses her Airedales so much but Molly especially♥

Happy Friday!

Love ya lots♥

Sunday Walk on Monday

 Mom switched up our route again and made it longer.  She is loving the slightly warmer temps!   She was overwhelmed by this long stone wall with daffies and hyacinths in front of it!

No peeing on the grape hyacinths, Duke!

The glory of the snow flowers were everywhere!

The forsythia is finally putting on a show!

Happy Monday!

Love ya lots♥
