Home made Sakura Mochi

Sakura-mochi is sweet red bean filling wrapped in pink glazed sweet mochi rice, then wrapped in naturally preserved, should I say pickled, cherry blossom leaf. These mochi cakes have a dreamy aroma of cherry blossom flowers and served to appreciate the auspicous season of Spring – Spring that symbolizes renewal and rebirth.

White Flowers &this to honor

A Friend… losing one’s mother is tough … very tough. Therefore the least I can do is bring some flowers and … a candle light up even a little the darkened feelings of loss. The scent is Magnolia and the wicks are … natural wood that burns without smoke to ash … May we live the kind of life that light up others with spontaneous acts of kindness; emit lovely unassuming scent … then burn off into ashes to return to this earth perhaps to reincarnate as a beautiful being with a crown of magnolia flowers … maybe, just maybe. That would be a life well lived.
