in the garden :: a purple haze

In the garden this morning, Emily and I enjoyed purple cauliflower, red russian kale, scarlet kale, surprise violas, purple sage, romanesco broccoli, and heart shaped sprouts from things to come.

p.s. more colors in the garden
p.s.s. looks like I am a bit behind this year (boy do I miss my little Charlie Kitty)

some thing to make you smile

everyday when I water the tree, Emily loves to come over to give me a kiss.

hugs to you

how sweet it is

to be loved by you (my sweet little bee)

we have a new favorite peppermint bark

 

and while we're at it, I might as well make one with my new favorite treats--

turkish apricots and marcona almonds with rosemary and sea salt

{our moment}

This should get us all in the spirit!

We've started our countdown to Christmas 

and are heading to the Waldorf Holday Faire.

Happy December!

my little gardener

Emily is taking after her sister in her pure love of gardening. I had a very proud mama moment the other day when we were invited over to a neighbor's Octoberfest party. Grace and Emily were outside admiring their yard when Emily stroked their herb garden, enhaled a deep breath and said "Ahhhhhhh, wosemawee."

Blue Pen, Yellow Pen, Red Pen....

OOPS!

Ready To Go

Emily loves dressing herself these days...in other peoples clothes!
It is adorable!!!
She collects laundry as I try to fold it, yells "dress" as she frantically tries to firgure any way to fit it onto her body, then "cheese" if I pull out the camera, and finally once she is in proper attire she yells "go!"

Happy, Happy

Happy (half) birthday my love!

I am so "lucky" to be your mama.

those lips

too cute!

and Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all as well.
