    First harvest

    The weather has taken a turn for the better so I took my coffee outside this morning.

    We decided it was time to start harvesting some from the garden. It’s nice to have little hands to help in the garden.

    Have a great day!!

    Rusty sneak peek

    I’ll be getting my package ready to mail off to Elizabeth today.

    I can only show you a tiny snippet or two of  her rust and white pages until she receives them.

    I used both rusted fabric

    and rusted paper to create my pages.

    I hope Elizabeth likes them!!

    Before I let you go, I just had to share these flowers…
    I picked all of them from my yard.
    Did I mention that I love flowers!?!?

    Special eggs and muffins

    So my baby girl…started the process of getting braces today.
    Getting the impressions taken…gack!
    And having spacers put in to move the teeth slightly for the bands.

    A day like today needs “special eggs”.
    I’m not sure what you call them but they are “special eggs” at our house.

    I also tried out a recipe I found over at the Smitten Kitchen for Whole Wheat Rhubarb muffins. I made one batch with rhubarb and one substituting the rhubarb with zucchini. 

    My picky children noticed that something was up right away.
    I couldn’t just pass them off as yummy streusel  muffins.
