Shelter from the Storm

This blog is inspired by the loss of my grandma..My "Ma" who taught me everything I know about love life and laughter..this is my journey with loss love life and laughter................ "Most of the time I'm clear focused all around, Most of the time I can keep both feet on the ground, I can follow the path, I can read the signs, Stay right with it when the road unwinds, I can handle whatever I stumble upon. I don't even notice she's gone, Most of the time...."

Country Pie

Happy 2013 !!!

I welcomed the new year quietly at home with snow fluttering outside my window,the snow arrived here in Upstate NY right before Christmas and restored the magic of winter.
Last year we had what many called a "green" winter and to me it was depressing,what is winter and especially Christmas without snow ? !!

Speaking of Christmas I received a Cupcake Maker from my cousin ,I wouldn't have purchased one for myself,it seemed like one of those gadgets I just didn't need even if I secretly wanted it.
I Love it !! It has been so much fun creating mini cupcake recipes that I had a little too much fun the first few days and ran out of room in my kitchen.Whats even better about this new gadget of mine is that it makes little pies,tiny little pies,too cute to eat (almost) !

I decided to share the recipe I used for mini pies that can be made in a cupcake maker if you have one or a muffin tin.
When you are making your pies I suggest playing the song "Country Pie" by Bob Dylan in the background because its Bob Dylan and he is singing about Pie !!

All credit and thank yous from this recipe go out to the blog "What you give away you keep" (I love that blog name) !!

These pies are sweet,delicious and meant to be shared.

i carry your heart with me by E. E. Cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)

i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling)

i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)

i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows(here is the root of the root and the bud of the budand the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which growshigher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

"My darling girl, when will you understand that 'normal' isn't necessarily a virtue. It rather denotes a lack of courage."

Practical Magic

But while the earth has slumbered,
all the air has been alive with feathery flakes descending.

- Henry David Thoreau

What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of the buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and looses itself in the sunset.

- Crow Foot

Nature! We are surrounded and embraced by her–
Incapable of escaping and incapable of delving deeper into her.
Without invitation or warning, she brings us into the rhythm of
her dance and sweeps onward with us, until we are exhausted
and fall from her arms.
- J.W.Goethe

"Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each..."

Henry David Thoreau

"Leave it to me as I find a way to be...Consider me a satellite, forever orbiting...I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me...Guaranteed..."

Eddie Vedder

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns..."

George Eliot

"Sometimes when you're most alone... you're not alone at all"

Rob Machado, The Drifter

"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."

Chris McCandless

Hold on to what is good,Even if it's a handful of earth.

Hold on to what you believe,Even if it's a tree that stands by itself.

Hold on to what you must do,Even if it's a long way from here.

Hold on to your life,Even if it's easier to let go.

Hold on to my hand,Even if someday I'll be gone away from you.

" Hold On," ....A Pueblo Indian Prayer
