About us
We’re a food blog focused on simple and seasonal recipes.
You live once, you die once. You win some, you lose some. Oh you rose? Make sure it doesn’t wither. Fell? Don’t be sad. No, don’t cry or fret either. For it was meant to make you happier or just better. For it was meant to make you learn. So, make sure you remember.
Oh, they do what they want, they be how they want. They live how they wish, it’s all that they think. You do what you want, you shine as you want, you laugh how you want, you cry when you want. For it’s your life, not theirs and you will only live once.
Don’t do it if you don’t want. Don’t do it only because they want. For you won’t get another life to live as you want. You only have one, make sure it’s fun. You make sure it’s worth, you make sure it’s lived and you make sure it’s lived just like you wished. For you only live once, you won’t get another one.
You are unique, you are special, you matter, you will never shatter. You are your sun, you are your moon. So you rise and you shine. You are your star, you are your light. So you guide and you glide. Oh, can’t you see? It’s your universe, it’s your world. It’s your life and that is all that matters.
You make the music, you dance to it. You be the eyes, that is the only right. The rhythm is yours, the notes are yours, the moves are yours, the stage is yours. You set it as you want, you light it as you want, you drape it as you want, and you end it as you want. For you are the muse and you are the lover. For you are the one who only matters.
You do what is right, you do what keeps you bright. Don’t regret, don’t cry. Smile, for it is only meant to take you high. Go on now! Just go and live, for you only live once. Think not what they will say, for you only live once.

Great Blue Heron misses the landing and does a faceplant in a pine tree – babsjeheron
A simple miscalculation, and the Great Blue Heron landed with his head thrust beneath the green, beak agape, eyes wide with protective membrane in place.
I would love to have the talent to fly and soar and wheel on the winds like the birds, but, lacking feathers, enough about me.
He launched from the limb that overhung the water in a sudden burst of energy, one wing stroke followed by more in rapid succession.
His wings pulled outward, forward, fully extended, then back in another burst bringing him to the tip of the pine bough.
His birdness revealed itself as feet reached forward to grasp the branch, all the while wings fluttered to help him hover into position. To and fro they rapidly fanned the air as he eased into position.
The green needled bough sunk under the force of his landing, and for a moment he teetered there, on the edge of his feathers aching for balance.
And suddenly he disappeared!
No, wait, there he is… face down on the soft pine.

Great Blue Heron does a faceplant when trying to land in a pine tree – babsjeheron
A simple miscalculation, and he landed with his head thrust beneath the green, beak agape, eyes wide with protective membrane in place.
Suspense and anxiety were palpable, as I watched his hovering-balancing. His wings at first stretched out flat on the surface, then retracted back and up, and within seconds he was upright and preening once again.
I have never before seen a Heron look so utterly birdlike, and so vulnerable, as in those few seconds. One look, and you could see what binds Herons with both Hummingbird and Hawk.
And you could see that sometimes even beautiful Herons can benefit from practice…and being mindful.
