rain, bee stings and birthdays

This is the view from my deck.  As I stand by the window washing dishes I love discovering what's new with the trees.  It's amazing how the new leaves are such an electric green!  
 This is try number 2.  Bee Sting Buns from this recipe.  I found the actual baking time much shorter than the recipe said and definitely think these are a great brioche recipe but not so much an authentic Bee Sting, for that, I would go back to using this one and instead of the vanilla pudding centre make the real vanilla bean pastry cream from this one.  Now that that's clear:)  I am glad I made a few different ones so that we could compare.  

On Friday evening we headed out to my niece's 1st birthday party.  My sister in law did a milk and cookies theme and it was, as always, an amazing spread!  She made Amelie a birthday dress and as I dressed her in it I was in awe of all that Shannon does:)  Wow, I have so much respect and love for her talents and gifts.  


I'm excited for May!  I look forward to planting my garden, getting a haircut that is long overdue, going to a wedding, and celebrating our ten year wedding anniversary!  Happy Monday, make some soup and get cozy.
