Reborn toddler Brooke is really beginning to settle and find her way around. In the first of a couple of posts with toys, she meets a particularly repellent Fisher Price apple. Her reaction is priceless!

Pets are not allowed in this apartment but, as we have already seen, reborn chimp Ozzie has taken up residence and now he is joined by a cute reborn pug dog.

It's a beautiful sunny morning in spring. Leaves are unfurling, buds are showing, birds are singing as they soar high up in the blue sky. It's the kind of day when everything and everyone seems glad to be alive, when the heart finds new hope and the spirit takes wing.

It is the afternoon of a breathless, still day. The sky is a dazzling blue and the sea is the same colour. Down here by the water's edge the beach is deserted, nothing is moving on the white sand from horizon to horizon. Even the little waves can only lap lazily against the shaw in soft siesta.

This combination of canned pineapple and mandarin segments, cherries from a jar, combined with fresh mango and slithered coconut steeped in Malibu liqueur all mixed with crumbled meringues in a creamy sauce might aptly be called food for the Gods!

I had been longing to try making this delicious dessert but had been put off by huge quantities in recipes I had seen and the use of cool whip, a product not available in the UK. After much research and a little tweaking here and there, this is my version.

It is evening in the rainforest and a gentle rain is pattering on big leaves. A soft chorus of crickets and treefrogs give a backdrop to a beautiful solo piano melody. The night creatures are busy but we need not heed them. All is safe.

Here in this verdant woodland day has just broken. the leaves are dew dappled, everything looks fresh and new. a tumult of birds say hello to the new day and a beautiful melody of flutes, harp and strings gives a hopeful vibe.

An evocation of a peaceful summer night. Here beside the water it's business as usual for night creatures while overhead, beautiful, eternal and oblivious, shine a thousand friendly stars.

This tranquil piano piece has a gentle sadness to it as well as so much beauty. It made me think of the time when I was in an orchard and a heavy shower of rain fell, drenching the new apple blossoms, filling the air with the wonderful smell of rain and delicate flowers.
