Simple Pleasures

I bought a couple of bunches of tulips from Walmart, only $4 per bunch!




Then I set them in my tulip bowl, don't they look pretty?  Simple pleasures for sure!







I was at the gym talking to a renovator who did some work for us around the house in the past.  He told me they figured out their annual electricity bill and it is about a quarter of what we pay!  He said he did all the insulation for his house.  It's amazing how much energy you can save just with proper insulation.

Daughter L made this banana cake recently and pronounces it a winner!
I always did prefer banana cake to banana bread.

    That recipe looks delicious. I have several over ripe bananas so I'll be making this. Thanks.

    your tulip bowl is lovely, a beautiful shape, it compliments the roundness of the tulips, I like banana cake better as well, lol, have a great Saturday,

    Those tulips are lovely. A much-needed touch of colour as we wait for spring to arrive!

    Gorgeous tulips! They look great in that vase. While I do like it, I am not a huge fan of banana bread or cake, I'm not really sure why...

    That's a beautiful arrangement and all ready to be drawn too. :-) $4.00? Wow! What a bargain!

    Lovely flowers. We buy them a lot. All kinds. They are so pretty. Not so much wasteful, since people earn a living doing this. That's what I think!

    Love the delicate colors of your tulips. I almost grabbed a bunch of white ones to contrast with the deep purple, then saw the red ones and decided to go bright. I love your tulip bowl.
