Do you ever lay in bed at night and dream?

No, you’re not sleeping . . . you’re wide awake . . . dreaming.

Your mind is rapidly clicking from one project to another to another to another!

Yup . . . that’s me.

I have all these grand ideas that pop into my head & the perfect plan to bring them all to fruition.

In the morning, those grand ideas haven’t been erased, but the master plan . . . it’s gone!

Gone with the wind.

Last night, I dreamed about making a new  found recipe, called Spice Pear Cake.  It sounds pretty good doesn’t it? It wasn’t! Therefore, I can’t post it on this Baking Blog. I don’t have a picture of a beautiful Spice Pear Cake & I won’t share the recipe with you either.  

I love pears.  I don’t love eating them though.  I just love the way they look!   So . . . before I peeled, chopped, and smashed those 3 beautiful pears, I took pictures.

 By the way, I love this Canon Lens:  Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

That’s all you get today . . . just a picture I took of those gorgeous pears!

 Don’t be surprised if I transform it as my new header.  Just for awhile.  

I think you should also see my sweet new granddaughter. She’s just perfect.
