I had the chance to look at my mother's paint palette yesterday. Those wells of green (pictured above) were just so lovely, like hills by the sea, I just had to share them with you. Also it was interesting to see the colors she chooses. She paints primarily landscapes these days & her palette reflects that. I learned a lot just by looking at her palette & find it interesting. I wonder which of my friends palettes I will request to see next? Stick around & find out. Happy Thursday y'all! 

While I know you do not come to the blog expecting recipes  this one is too good (&easy) to not share. My aunt sent it to my mother who shared it with me, because I needed to bring a dessert to a large party. Yes, maybe you think of fudge as a winter dessert, but this fudge is so good, particularly after it is refrigerated that it might end up being your go-to contribution to the sweet table at potlucks. And really melting the chocolate & butter takes less than 20 minutes, so don't wait for the next party make some today & surprise your friends & family with a little mid-week treat tomorrow.
