In the Gardens

For my Birthday my lover and I went to some beautiful gardens and walked around. I captured some of the plants on my phone. Hope you enjoy.

After walking around we stopped to sit on a bench amongst the greenery and read.

It was a great morning filled with beautiful plants. The most relaxing birthday anyone can ask for.

Lazy Sunday

This morning I woke up and made some Banana Pancakes. They were delicious! I made them form this recipe http://allrecipes.com/recipe/banana-pancakes-i/detail.aspx I ended up using arrow root instead of baking powder due to not having any baking powder.

I also harvested some cucumbers, spicy bells, and jalapeno peppers.

After taking great pride in my home grown veggies I sat down for some tea by candle light. 

I'm enjoying some nice black fig and lavender tea. Nothing to fancy but a favorite of mine. Today has been a good sunday.

Nature on the way

I found this cool little puff flower thing on my walk home from the library. I'm not sure what it is but it was rather cool looking.

I'm also rather excited that my peppers are growing. I'm adding more to the garden this weekend. I'll be planting fall squash such as pumpkins and acorn. 

One of our little carrots. I hope the root starts getting larger soon. Right now its all top.
