All the best Sundays begin with pancakes. When I was a little kid, it was after-church pumpkin seed pancakes, before my family caved in to its heathenish ways and we stopped going. In college, a friend's famous wholegrain pancakes (involving rolled oats) would lure me twenty miles by bicycle for the taste. And now I am happily married to a wholehearted breakfast food enthusiast. When you behold a plateful of pancakes, how can you not be happy?
After breakfast, finding the day still fairly young, we traveled a familiar road to an unfamiliar place. A brief newspaper clipping, and an even briefer Google search, and we've found a new place to hike. A broad expanse of swamp studded everywhere with hot pink pond lily flowers.
A saw a pair of frisky goldfinches, a titmouse, and a mockingbird eating wild cherries. We did not see a single turtle, though a rather obstreperous frog nearly sent me into cardiac arrest.
It was, altogether, a fine way to spend a Sunday.

There is a small chance that I might have tried to lick my computer screen when I spied your pancakes. Any chance you could post that recipe?? Pretty Please?
I was gonna comment how nice a day it must have been then I read huhnybee's comment. I am now falling outta my chair laughing.........
That picture of the pancakes in my reader just about made me drool! YUM!
It's good to hear from others who are into Sunday morning pancakes! I have perfected a pancake recipe, and use any & all fruit available. Last Sunday, it was Cherry-Vanilla pancakes. Yes, pancakes are a great way to start the day. Now if I could just get my husband into the hiking part....
