Planting n' Painting
















We spent majority of afternoon yesterday in the front garden. We planted pumpkin, green beans, zucchini and tomatoes. There were a few snap peas ready to be picked, and they were so good, almost like candy. Lyric was bummed there weren't more to pick...yet. There were a few strawberries ready to pick, many more on the way. There are cute little peach fruits, about the size of grapes...they will be a treat to eat. We picked plenty of tangerine's yesterday and I squeezed tangerine juice, we had with our home-made belgian waffles for breakfast.





Back to the garden..we dispursed color in various places. Lyric, Miles, Natassia and I had a grea day enjoying the gorgeous weather outside... here are some shots of various pieces that I painted.

Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

I tried this recipe last night for the first time. They turned out amazingly. Soooo tasty. Vegan recipe's tend to be a shot in the dark for me, especially when it comes to baked goods. I halve the recipe just in case they don't turn out great...but I will definitely make these again...very soon.
I noticed in the picture that the top muffin looks like a face. Does anyone else see that?.. wacky!
Here's to health, love and happiness. :)

Little Pillow




These little beds were passed down to me from my mom. Lyric loves to play with them and put his little dolls to "beepies" (sleepies). I decided it would be fun and easy to create little pillows and blankets, and I finished my first pillow. I used felt and wool roving.
