We were busy all weekend doing gardening, yard work and chores; as well as my usual kitchen marathons.
The kids gave me four beautiful hanging flowers.
I made Colorful Coleslaw (added radishes, yellow peppers, methi leaves and some chinese broccoli) and Julies Black Bean Torta on mothers day. That Torta is impressive looking and those finely chopped veggies were so worth it. I cut all morning long between the coleslaw and torta.
Saturday I made Mexican Layered Casserole and Lentil Sloppy Joes.
We got two gardening boxes in but I still have to get those plants into the boxes (after I fill them with dirt!!) and I need to add some soil and food for the other boxes and plant stands to get these seedlings into the ground as soon as possible.
We brought out the hibiscus that blooms so nicely and its happy to be in the sun. I hope I don't shock it with full sun today. The clematis is blooming so bright and large and the orchids have 5 blooms and about 10 more buds opening! I have about 6 different herbs I have to get into containers and in good places for them to grow, also.
This week is supposed to be like the Spring I am familiar with. I will be so happy if that is what happens. I'll walk if I can today but my muscles are sore from trimming, using the chain saw and pushing the mower over half the yard.
