A little Spring fever...

It isn't quite warm enough to plant flowers or veggies here yet, but I did have a few minutes to build a terrarium! It's taken me 2-3 weeks to gather all the supplies, but finally, here it is.


I have been fascinated by terrariums for a long time and really like how this one turned out. The animals I bought at a toy store on vacation in Gatlinburg TN. (I'll tell you about that later.)


Those cute teeny mushrooms I bought at this shop.

Look at the gorgeous mood moss! Got that here.


If anyone is interested, I'd by happy to talk more about the construction.

Nothing is so beautiful as Spring

Not a lot to say today, so I'll just share with you this photo of my flowers from last year. I have Spring fever and am so anxious to play in the dirt!
When I have a few moments, I'll share with you all the exciting news regarding my little knitting business. :o)

Summer Cooking

We were just chatting about how summer changes what we eat during this time of year. Some grill more, some eat lighter... I tend to eat more seasonal foods like watermelon and strawberries, fresh salads and homegrown tomatoes. This is one of the things I love about summer - fried green tomatoes.

You will see these on many Southern tables this time of year, but did you know they actually originated in the North? I read here that Northern farmers found themselves in a predicament with too many green tomatoes on the vine when the first frost hits. They couldn't eat them raw so they fried them. I'm so glad they did!

I will type up my recipe and post it tomorrow.
