Gently Wafting...

So, what do you do with 24 leftover scarves during the off season?

Why, you turn them into a beautiful curtain, of course!

More pictures of camping

So, I said that I would upload more pictures of our camping trip. And I have finally gotten around to it!
YAY!
Sorry it took me so long. I've just been really busy. But here they are!

 

 

 

 

 

This was just a part of the beautiful lake.

One of the Falls

The valley just before sunset

I LOVE this picture!

I love how far you can see.

It was seriously SO beautiful there! I loved all the sites.
The best part was walking right up next to the waterfalls, either above them, or below.
And, the weather was perfect the first two days. The last two were bitter and cold. Ugh. I hate cold.

Anyways, we were camping at Fall Creek Falls. In case anyone was wondering.

Tootles!

Fleetwood Mac

Okay. So my newest favorite band is Fleetwood Mac, I can't get enough of them!
They are seriously amazing. I love pretty much every song of theirs. A few I don't care for, but that's the way it always is, right?  Anyways, one of my favorite songs is Songbird, it is so beautiful and soothing.
It just makes me want to cry, it's so lovely. Please enjoy it for yourselves.

Camping

So, last week we went camping!
The first few days were warm and nice, but then it got cold and nasty. I was not happy. Here are some pictures!

Creepy black death hole

Things in My Life

These are just some random pictures that I feel should be shared...

Who would ever want to eat Orange Cake!?!??!?

Best Frozen Yogurt place ever!

My frozen yogurt! I got Strawberry Lemonade Sorbet,
                                           Cake Batter, and some kind of caramel flavor.
                                           With: Nerds, Gummy Worms, Peanuts, Oats, and Coconut.
                                             I know it sounds like a lot. But it was so good!

Octopus Frenzy

 So I found a couple of things today that reminded me how amazing octopuses are and why I'm kinda jealous of them...just a little bit. :)

Anyways, check out one of God's amazing creatures here:

And also here:

This one is super long, don't feel obligated to watch it all, but I feel like it provides a clear example of why these creatures are a good part of my inspiration for jewelry.

In My Garden...

      Well, as summer begins my garden is becoming quite big, green, wild, and beautiful.  Everything is thriving and blooming wonderfully from the poppies,

to the sunflowers,

the cadula,

and the zinnias,

and, of course, the forget-me-nots.

     Unfortunately it has been so incredibly hot the past couple of weeks that I haven't been able to spend nearly enough time out there attending to my plants.  Aside from rushing out to right toppled plants blown over by the crazy winds, or grabbing a quick harvest of whatever herb is taking over the garden, being out under the sun is quite unbearable. 
     The harvests are proving quite productive.  So far I've gotten large harvests of oregano, basil, dill, stevia, swiss chard, and onions.  In fact, yesterday I spent the majority of the afternoon harvesting and preparing my onions to be frozen for this fall.

Done!

     I now have four bags of chopped onions for winter soups and one bag of small onions for stew!  :)

Yum!

      I also got a nice harvest of Swiss Chard for last night's dinner.  

Chard is a little bit...soapy when eaten fresh but can be heavenly!  Here's my super simple recipe:

 Ingredients:

Chard (however much you have)

Olive oil (eye-ball it)

Garlic salt (about 4-5 dashes)

     Tear the leaves into strips and throw it in a pan with enough olive oil to lightly cover the bottom of the pan.  Cook on medium until leaves are a rich green and then add garlic salt and you're done!  See, wasn't that easy?   These greens taste amazing with grilled tuna patties (I'll get that recipe up soon because it's also amazing) or just by themselves.

     Oh, and if any of the leaves turn olive green remove them because they taste terrible and they're slimy. 

    

Enjoy your greens and happy gardening!
