New York New York

So I am going to gush a little bit, we had sooo much fun in New York. Our tickets to the Yankees game were FANTASTIC! As you can see from the photo I got to see Alice, and eat a yummy cupcake, well ok one and a half cupcakes at Magnolia bakery. My dear friend Stephaine watched my babies (plants that is...) and MY how they have grown!! Today I made pasta sauce and even used some of my very own basil leaves, delish!

I have been listening to the old Matt Costas Cd and I love it. Great albums are so wonderful, its like revisiting an old friend. What albums can make you smile, over and over again?

First Bloom!

So I am so excited, be it a small bloom, but how fulfilling! My first flower from a seed! I am a proud mama! Wishing you small blessings like these through out your day!

Growing Season

So growing season is settling in quite nicely, but not having a yard certainly puts a damper on having your own little patch of earth. This is my first attempt at gardening from pots, and so far so good. The picture above is of my temperamental tomato plants, without fail when I get up in the morning they are grumpy at me and wilted, I have tried feeding them at night too, but then the soil gets moldy.Any suggestions? My basil on the other hand (first picture) is always happy to see me! I cant wait to add some of this to my homemade pastas!

As for my life besides plants I have been taking photos like a maniac, planning for the Upcoming New York trip, we are going to see a James Bond film in bryant park with an old friend and his wife, picnic included! And creating as much as possible! Sadly it seems my running has taken the back seat with this huge heat wave, but hopefully I will be back on the sadle again soon. Endorphins are good!

I just read this today and was really convicted "If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his (or her!) work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light" 1 Cor 3:12-13 So often I try to do life on my own, and God keeps showing me that it is impossible, but with Him all things are possible!

Sending warm hugs to all!
