Garden Fresh Salads - From Our Garden, Really - 1/22/2009

I've blogged about my black thumb & our little garden before. The following is mostly my husband's doing. He takes care of the garden.

We were ecstatic at the salads that we were able to make from our own little bit of land. Everything came from the garden except the croutons & dressing. :) There is lettuce, tomatoes, radishes, green peppers, hot peppers & basil. Sigh... I wish I could have one every day.

Nice Long Weekend - 7/07/2008

I had just the most wonderful long weekend! I hope yours was just as nice.

Lazing around - spent lots of time by the pool. All three days!

Growing - My herb seedlings are starting to sprout just the tiniest bit - it's so exciting! The compost heap is growing.

Sewing - I made a simple sewing machine cover from an easy tutorial I found online from Not Nigella. I wimped out though & skipped the inside.

Cooking - My husband & I made a really great meal of Beef & Blue Cheese Crostini on the grill Saturday. Ingredients are in the photo above: baguette, blue cheese, garlic, spicy mustard & watercress plus beef (of course). It was a lovely meal that went perfectly with red wine. I also made a fresh chili last night & while prepping found this most adorable mushroom. My husband couldn't believe I took a picture. Of course I did, duh. It's a Siamese mushroom!

Household - cleaned my office/craft room plus the guest bed & bath. It feels so wonderful. I also have a bunch of things to drop off to Goodwill heaped on the guest bed. For some reason, it feels so good to cull my collection of crap!

I'm Home! - 6/30/2008

This weekend I did a bunch of stuff around the house & it felt great!

I swept & mopped the entire main area in my house. My core is still sore from that little excercise.

I planted some herbs - 2 full plants & 2 types of seeds - see at left. I finally feel like I can exert some energy in this direction. I'm going to trust myself to keep checking on them & watering them if they need it. In the past I've been known to kill stone plants, jade plants, you name it, so stay tuned!

I wandered around my yard & took photos of the plants my mother-in-law put in for us. You can see them here on her MySpace page or if the link doesn't work search for PlantLadyPeggy.

I spent time with our new dog. Another thing I finally have energy for. I have decided that I have this energy & that this is where it will go. It is so free-ing!

I spent some time doing other domestic chores - I ironed, I baked cookies (yum!) as well as laundry, cleaning the kitchen, etc...

I even found time to watch a movie or two, read books & give myself a face mask in the tub.

The point I am trying to make is that now that I've slowed way down & taken a lot of those 'to-d0's' from myself, I feel so wonderful & relaxed.

I even got some listings up in the store but I didn't stress it.

My husband blew up my new raft so I have a date with the pool next weekend! I'm sure it's been missing me LOL. And I was pleasantly surprised to realize that next weekend is a three day-er! Wheee!
