Scilla Season~

Finally..Scilla season is here..always my first picked bouquet.
I love them..probably because they are my first..even before the forsythia blooms..even before my daffodils.
It's still been chilly so green is not happening..we need some warmth to get the leaves out...
it's trying to warm up..really trying and the sun is out as I type..
My garlic patch is making me giddy.
So cute the little perfect aligned rows.
All growing in tandem.
If my small harvest is good..there will be more next year for certain.

The gardens and lawns are raked.. the tree trimmer Dominique came and pruned all the side trees..
I can see tulipleaves trying to emerge.
I put my dahlia tubers in trays..they look forlorn and dry..wondering ..should I get some fresh tubers just in case..?

Thought I would share the second dessert I made for the  big boys..and the Littles~
Let's start with..the big boys..
If you love oranges.. you may like this..

Chez Gourmantine~is where I lost my head..go see..superb..
I made it..as per her instructions..but my oranges were huge..so I used less of the filling..there would have been too much.
The verdict?
It is excellent..but my family..creatures of habit ... all told me they like my regular baklava better.
It's like..you know..:"my mom's spaguetti sauce is the best."...
They are used to more nuts and honey and no oj flavor at all..I did like the idea of making it like a cake though.
Adamo liked it.
But that was it..
No ahhs ..or yum..or can I have the recipe..
They said it was pretty.Period.:)
You can't win em all;)

For the Littles..cute EBAY superhero molds for chocolate♥

Looking forward to temperatures climbing this week~
Today we Springed up the screened-in-porch.
That means..
It is here.
