Yesterday was miserable..it rained and rained, heavy at times. It was the kind of day that you were opening and closing the windows for fear of furniture/floors being ruined. Once the rain ceased, I quickly opened all the windows again. It was very humid, the air just hung, keeping your skin moist and hair frizzy. The odd thing was that it was humid and cool...by evening the humidity broke and the coolness entered the house, there was also a breeze, a lovely breeze that swept out the humidity. It was that type of chilliness that had me thinking of scones. Something lovely baking in the oven...the aroma wafting about...it brought coziness and a sense of security. I love to bake, I am at the point where I dont need a recipe...I just fumble about and perfect things and then smile when it tastes divine. The smile is bigger and brighter when my kids and Hubby love what I have created. Last night I was using a recipe from my Grandmothers Church Cookbook. It is called "Fluffy Biscuits" and I have changed and perfected it in so many ways. I still use the basis of the recipe...but everything else is new. Last night I made Blueberry Scones with a sugar sprinkle on top. They were soft, delicate and just delicious as each Blueberry burst in your mouth. Coziness was everywhere and so was security, you see I lost my Grandmother just a short 4 years ago...she never got to see my daughter or my younger son...she would have LOVED them. She was a baker and had many recipes, handwritten and clipped out of newspapers. I am pretty sure that she would have been proud of me and what I have accomplished today. Married, mother of three and having bought a house and making that house a HOME! And now tonight, for my daughter, she was requested that I make Apple Cinnamon Scones with a Brown Sugar Sprinkle!!
