January:
Tea by candlelight; frosty windows and summer’s scarlet jewels pulled from the freezer

February:
Raw chocolate tart; palest pink tulips in the window and ruby red grapefruit to brighten the mornings

March:
Reading by candlelight in a thunderstorm; Guinness and a loaf of soda bread; hunting for morels in the Michigan forests



April:
The fairy canopy of spring; tea in the garden; treasures from garden, forest and field to fill the baskets



May:
Dappled light through pale green leaves; fields of gold; walks in the long shadows of May eves



June:
Strawberries – sweet and juicy as ever they could be

July:
Hands sticky with Elderflower pollen; a walk to a bog on a sweltering day; cat-sitting








each image is full of seasonal goodness. that day at the bog was so perfectly summery. the insects but also the bright bright green beauty of the trees. xoxo
It was the quintessential summer day, wasn’t it? I think it was one of my fondest memories of the summer in fact
Everything about it was lovely.
I had forgotten how many amazing photos you had shared this year. I will have to take some time to go through your old blog posts soon to enjoy them again. And I haven’t made that raw chocolate tart yet, what a terrible oversight! Thank you for the reminder.

Oh there is always time in the future for raw chocolate tarts
XOXO
After REading this post and the comments, I also wanted to make raw chocolate tart! So I ended up exploring the blog further – and discovered that it’s full of delightful recipes. Thanks, Danielle! I’ve said this before, but will say it again, your blog is like a breath of fresh air.
And thank you Rosanna for your kind words
couldn’t find the raw chocolate tart recipe, tho.
Rosanna you are so right! Thank you very much for pointing out this horrible oversight on my part – I’m not sure how but I must’ve missed that recipe when I was compiling my food page. Anyhow, thanks to you I have fixed this problem and added the recipe to the food page. And here is the link for the recipe – thank you again for letting me know! Many happy wishes and delicious raw chocolate cakes to you!!
XOXO
Thanks for the recipe, Danielle! I’ll certainly give it a try…
These are all so beautiful and inspiring!
