Did Phil see his shadow? Trolls?? Sharing HeART!
February 2, 2007 - around 7:30 am ET - Punxsutawney, PA, Phil did not see his shadow and thus spring is just around the corner!
Well, if Phil had been in Mineral Wells, Texas, he would not have seen it, either, so SPRING here we come!!
I have been hearing about Blog Trolls, whom, thankfully I have not met! I don't know why people want to ruin things, but there are just mean spirited folks who aren't happy unless others are hurt. All I can say to any Troll who happens to be around, it would be nice if you would just go play some place else.
and in the back.
Today was a lovely day. Louise came over this afternoon, and we watched several recorded versions of Simply Quilts. Then we had a little tea party with black tea for Louise and Earl Grey for me. I made winter scones with heavy cream, and we had a lovely time. Louise and I can talk all day and not cover the same thing twice.

Well, I haven't been drawing much lately, so I drew this summer flower while looking at the winter snow...speaking of snow. We had a light salting of snow both in the front of the house...Below are three of the ATC's I have created for the drawing. Those of you who haven't put your name in the pot and might want to, please let me know!

Winter Scones
Brighten the supper menu with these cream scones cut in pie-shaped pieces
2 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1 tblsp. baking powder
2 tblsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. shortening
2 eggs
1/3 c. heavy cream
1 tblsp. sugar
Sift together flour, baking powder, 2 tblsp. sugar and salt into mixing bowl. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal or crumbs. Make a hollow in the center. Save out 1 tblsp. egg white for topping. Beat remaining eggs; combine with cream and add all at once to hollow in flour mixture. Stir to mix--the dough will be stiff.
Turn onto lightly floured board and knead lightly 5 or 6 times, or until dough sticks together. Divide in half. Roll each half to make a 6" circle about 1" think. Cut each circle in 4 wedges.
Arrange wedges about 1" apart on ungreased baking sheet. Brush tops with reserved egg white; sprinkle with 1 tblsp. sugar.
Bake in hot oven (400ËšF) about 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve at once. Makes 8 scones.

Your tea sounded lovely!

Warm hugs,
Sue
Hope your BP is doing well these days!!
hugs!!
Scones are yummy, I can't wait to try the recipe.
Really nice drawings.
I am trying your scones recipe as I made some for my ~tea party~ in a past post recently ..looked good in the pictures but I could improve on the taste..so I'll try yours! thank you for sharing!
:-D
Re Trolls: My dh has a tribute site to Natalee Holloway, and a candle site to go with it. He gets trolls, and one in particular, who just wants to make trouble. Takes dh's screen name and goes to other Natalee sites and leaves ugly messages using his screen name. I can only feel pity for these people who have no life of their own!
As for trolls, yes it's a shame that some want to ruin the fun of others just to be spiteful. They must really be unhappy in their lives.
Thank you so much for the scone recipe...I've never tried making those before so now is my chance to do so!!
That Garfield quote is just perfect! lol
Hugs xoxo
I must admit that I haven't heard of trolls before. Maybe I haven't been at this long enough...? Or maybe I've just been fortunate! You'd think people had better things to do with their time than to be destructive with blogs that others have so lovingly created. A big 'HISS' to all of them!
And a big 'CHUCKLE' after reading Garfield. Gotta love that cat!
Lovely art work!
Trolls? *Shudder*
The Garfield quote is so spot on! *LOL*
