One of the joys of my childhood was the bookmobile! The other was the ice cream truck.

Looking Inside Plus A Wonderful Reflection
I took this iPhone photo at a friend's house a couple of weeks ago and I wasn't even aware at the time of the wonderful reflection. I feel as if I'm looking inside and behind me at the same time.
The Queen of Hearts wants Lemon Tarts
While the mini tart shells are cooling, you can start working on your filling. It’s very simple. Whisk 4 whole eggs in a big bowl, add 2/3 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of sour cream and 1/2 cup of confectioners sugar. Whisk everything together and pour it into the mini tart shells with a measuring cup. Bake the mini tart shells in the oven at 325 degrees for about 15 – 18 minutes. Now you’re ready to make the whipped cream. Again, very simple. Put 1 cup of cold heavy cream in a big bowl. Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar. Beat the mixture with a hand mixer until it becomes thick and makes a soft peak. Your whipped cream is done. Full recipe including instructions for tart shells here.

Visited My Farm Friends Today
I had a real estate showing this morning and on my way home I stopped to visit and photograph these animals.
George the donkey and Penny the horse. She gets her name after the copper coin.
George was the first to come closer. His namesake is George Washington.
The two goats in the background never moved an inch. The white goat is Rufus and the black one's name is David. His human often takes him for a walk leading him with a leafy branch. I think I'll invite both of these goats over this summer to eat some of my weeds.
A Gathering of Friends
This is the perfect weekend for hanging out with your friends. Are there any sea otters that aren't cute?

Rockin' Robin
I took this photo last year -- don't remember when. I have big fat robins hopping around all over my lawn but they won't pose for a picture. Spring must be right around the corner if these birds are back, right? Have a great weekend.
The benefit of making plans
I love it when this happens, don't you? via Millie @TheLaurelHedge on Pinterest
