ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

THURSDAY, MAY 26TH , 2022

The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades.  May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks, and boring grays of your every day.

occasion!

Today is Blueberry Cheesecake Day which celebrates an interesting and unique cheesecake.  Chesecake recipes date back to Ancient Greece, the flavored versions we know and love today are a fairly recent innovation.  Today is the celebration of the Blueberry variety.

The type of cheese used to make cheesecake has a huge impact on the flavor and texture of this delicious dessert.  American cheesecakes are made with cream cheese, Italian cheesecakes are made with ricotta and German and Polish cheesecakes are made with a type of curd cheese. 

Blueberry cheesecake is one of the most popular cheesecake flavors .  To celebrate enjoy a heavenly slice or two of Blueberry Cheesecake today.

If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side

 

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

I love berries. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, black berries, anything with an eerie in it.

Jordin Sparks

I do love cheesecake so will definitely be celebrating today.  I had wanted to get one  at the grocery store yesterday.  But they didn’t have any. The best I could do was a container of cottage cheese with blueberries and some blueberry yogurt.

It looks like today will be mostly rainy and I think it would be a good time to stay in and get some housework done.  I’m going to have some company on Saturday so I’d like the house to look nice.  DS#6 and his family are coming in to help me plant some flowers here in all my containers.  It was their birthday gift to me this year.  

I tried to winter over my plants in the sunroom, but it looks like they’ll all need to be replaced so I have a lot of pots to fill.  I’m going to go with an Americana theme.  Lots of red white and blue.  This will definitely include some red geraniums.  

DD has already said she’d do the planters on the car port side of the house.  I always put impatients there due to the shade.  I also put my flags in the boxes as I don’t have a place to hang a flag here.  The pictures today are of my planters from previous years. I always plant the same thing in them

So the ones we fill on Saturday will be the ones that are in the front of the house.  The only thing growing out there right now is a Rose of Sharon which blooms most of the summer.

I’m so looking forward to having some flowers once again!

I hope you all have a GREAT day.  Happy Thursday!
