This morning (ahem, I mean afternoon) when Chris woke me up he’d already flooded me with links. One of those linked me to Chiot’s Run, a great blog about organic gardening & things of that nature. In particular, he sent me a link to this tasty sounding pickle recipe. I think we’ll give it a try since we have so many cucumbers & loves us some pickles!

That’s what their pickles look like, mmmm my mouth is watering just thinking about it! I’ll update you guys on our batch when we get it going.
Here’s a link to the site, I encourage you to check it out!

When I asked Jody if she’d mind if I wrote about her on my little blog it was no surprise to find that she’d been featured many times, was already gaining attention in blog land & I was late to the party. I’d known Jody from high school & knew she was awesome, but I just recently saw her art, and wow! Not only was I in awe of her greatness I was inspired! Do yourself a favor & check out her art portfolio, subscribe to her blog & buy something from her store on etsy .
A feast for your eyes:
Sometimes, early in the morning, before I sleep, I like to go outside & watch the world come alive, and say hello to my good friend, the sun.
I absolutely love spring, the sunshine, warmth, and the plants waking from their long naps. With nature doin’ it’s thang, I’ve been inspired to get some things done myself. This past week I got my veggie garden growing, some transplants, some seeds, water & bam a garden is born. You don’t even know how excited I’ll be to bite into the first harvest of the year…mmm! I’ve been putting off so many things hence the late garden. I think there is no time like now to give a little effort & do some of them. What have I been putting off? Take a wild guess & I bet it’s on the list. So here’s to me, trying to get some things done (pat on the back, applause). Now that I am actually an full fledged adult at 30 I hope to get my shit together, get healthy physically & mentally, get my songs recorded maybe even play them live, make a decent living, work on my goals for the future & be the best me possible. I know it’s do-able, I just got to get to doing. I am optimistic & look forward to the challenge.

I could use these bottles for so many things, but today I’ll share my first attempt at using broken bottles as mosaic tiles to give an old mirror a makeover.
A quick rundown of what I did: found a mirror hanging around the house, scored it, got out my little container of adhesive grout, broke some wine bottles & stuck them all together & viola mosaic mirror.
Oh, how I long to be a goddess… to be worshiped & anointed with oils & adorned with jewels, to do as I please when I please. To be free of all these earthly ways that hold down my spirit & force me to toil with tasks.

Ahh, to dream… I suppose it’s time to make dinner.
I adore cob homes & live for the day I find myself living the life of a fairy in my little home that looks like a drawing of some fantasy woodland harem in hobbit territory. It would have colorful glass & crystals embedded all throughout & when the sun shine hit just right, it would make one gasp with amazement. Lush gardens with edibles & flowers would surround & live atop the roof…. I could go on & on…dreaming.
I borrowed these pictures from a wonderful site that has a huge gallery of cob & lots of great info. Click here to visit them. As for now I hope you will enjoy these few pics I found & love so much.

Chris & Alisha get hitched!
Ahhh, isn’t love a beautiful thing?
