Just some photos for you this morning. Perennials from the front yard — it’s been exciting to see what comes up:
They’ve now been placed well out of the reach of cats and dogs. I love using this old (I mean ‘used’ — definitely not ‘antique’!) vanilla bottle as a miniature vase. A tip from me to you, via Rob, and originally from his father: use WD-40 to remove stubborn sticky residue. Not a very ‘natural’ solution, but it does the trick when nothing else will — AND it removes the stamped-on date, etc from glass. Usually. Sometimes.
Poached pear from last night, with a strawberry sauce/coulis/…thing. I think the heat and recent eating habits have put me on sugar overload; the thought of carb-y baked goods isn’t doing it for me lately. Cooked fruit is just about enough — sweet, but not overly so. I think summer will have to equal more veggies and fewer desserts. Chocolate doesn’t count, of course.
Yeah, I guess I’ve been a contributor to your sugar overload.
The flowers are lovely. What kind are those? I really enjoyed the lilacs you brought by the other day.
