Today

Was quite a day. We never left the house but we got a lot done. I have had a lot less time to get anything done, because this little one exhausts me.

 We know this Tuesday morning if it is a girl or a boy!!!




Back to today... We spent hours after breakfast pulling weeds and prepping the planter beds for seed sowing.


Sophia released her ladybugs that she raised from larva


I can not wait for these beautiful apricots to be ready for me to eat, I don't think I will be sharing!!! This is the first time the 7 foot baby is producing and it is covered with fruit!!!!

This is how the rest of the tin can's garden is growing...
Oregano
 Radishes ( we have already harvested 2 lbs.)

Swiss Chard



We were going to make bbq flank steak for dinner, but thanks to a friends post reminding about lent we scratched that till tomorrow and I ended up making a Pioneer Woman recipe; Spaghetti with Artichoke Hearts and Tomatoes. It was really wonderful and reasonably easy.

 The recipe is here thepioneerwoman.com

I recently decided to stop buying store bought bread and become an avid home "baker of bread" it was my first attempt tonight, I really had no idea what i was doing, but it turned out fantastic if I do say myself!




And that's all she wrote!
