Tomorrow / Demain


Busy bee in the kitchen, hoping from a cookie to another.

Busy bee in the kitchen, rolling in sugar, cinnamon and honey.

The bee baked and ate, and baked again. She added flour, nuts, rose water and sugar a million times. She ate and baked, and ate again.

Baking sheets are sore. Oven is blazing hot. She will bake more. Not today. Not tomorrow. Tomorrow she will dress up. Her daughter will wear a beautiful cream dress with Cross-Stitch embroidery. Her better half will wear a suit and a sky blue tie.

Laughter, prayers, photos, family, cookies, hugs and kisses will wrap this joyful day.

Tomorrow.

Happy Eid al-Fitr!

Thank you, for everything.

Hoping your journey and Eid were extra wonderful. I STILL need to write you about something. You don't have an email link on your blog!

Such cute and beautiful biscuits- I don't think I would be able to emulate them for my kitchen, though!
