Can't talk about nerding out about plants without some pics 🌱 We looked at multiple cool sites from scrub to wetlands and everything in between. I love the flatwoods but the scrub fascinates me (cuz it's new to me). 😎🤓

I decided a photo was worth it after all

And for my last trick:
Using the China coffee cups from my Great Grandma Maud
Who says you can't use your millennial inheritance for fun?

Whoops, alt text:
Cranberry and white chocolate with candied ginger cookies
Eggnog cookies
Molasses cookies
In the ceramic Santa serving tray my Grandma Pat made (a long time ago)

Eggnog cookies from Mrs. Field's cookie recipe book that I got when I was in high school.
I usually don't tweak this recipe at all. Just don't burn them...
Also in that book that I made this year: molasses cookies (a recipe that I tweak a lot, because she puts raisins in them, and I hate raisins).
