Sharing a photo taken this morning of the Sun Rise. also two from yesterday.

I always like sun rises and sets as a matter of fact I love pictures of the sky they are ever changing.

A few photos of Winter Sky's that I have taken over the years.

I have many but here are a few.

Here is a recipe for all of you who dont think valentines day

 should be all about chocolate.

Cranberry Shortbread Cookies

Flour - 1 cup
Butter - 1 stick (1/2 cup)
Powdered sugar - 1/2 cup
Vanilla - 1 teaspoon
Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
Dried Cranberries - 1/4 cup (finely chopped)

Combine all the above ingredients except cranberries. Make it as a crumbly dough. Next add the cranberries and knead the dough until the cranberries are equally mixed.

Wrap the dough in a plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 mins. Then flour the board slightly and roll out the disk, about 1/2 inch thick.

Then using a heart shape cookie cutter cut out cookies and lay them on a baking sheet. Knead the left out dough and again do the same process and make as many cookies u need.

Bake the cookies in a 350 degrees oven for around 20 mins or until the sides of the cookies turn slightly brown.

Note : For perfect shortbread cookies do not over mix or over knead the dough.

Do not bake the cookies to a deep golden brown.
