Two Videos

I found this first video astounding ! Although I have heard this before now the facts are just laid out so well in this video.



A sad recap of the last 100 days.

A watched pot won't boil

Nor will a watched garden grow. Okay, it still grows but it's just torture to wait! It's best to just distract yourself. I was not very good at that and I checked twice a day to see if anything had shown up yet. Yesterday after a whole 5 days :-0 things started sprouting.

The sunflowers were first.



Then the Cucumbers





Then this thing. I think it's a squash but it's in the wrong spot. So it will just have to be a surprise later on I guess :)

How *not* to dry clothing...

Apparently the answer to that question is not in the dryer. :-/
This is the second piece of clothing in two weeks that has shrunk in our dryer. Both had to be new to me of course.
Fortunately this last one is still wearable, but the first one is just about hopeless.

I think I have come to the conclusion that if not all, at least our dryer is out to get me. ( Simplest answer ) I already know that it eats socks !!! ;-)

So that is my current stand about how I feel about laundry at the moment. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day and the dryer and I will forgive each other.

Cute Cupcakes !

I made Chocolate Cupcakes last night and this morning Ashley decorated a few of them with a cake decorating set she got a while back. Aren't they just too cute ?!?

Pretty Pink roses....



She did a really good job on these I think ! We learned how to make roses last year when Kate was working at a Bakery and I helped with Cooking classes. You first put a gumdrop on a tooth pick and then ice petals onto it. you then take the gumdrop and put it on the cake or whatever it is you are making. :)
