New Trees

My guy and I went today to find the tree to plant on Sunday as a remembrance of my mom. I usually plant a trees on the birthday of someone I've lost, but Mom's isn't until November. I also wanted to do something for her on Mother's Day.

When I was little we had a grapefruit tree in our back yard, so I decided to get one for Mom. While we were picking it out my guy decided to get an orange tree, too, so the grapefruit would have some company. My dad loved oranges so that's going to be his tree.

The orange tree had two little fruits on it, which we didn't realize until we got it home. A good omen, I think.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

In the Kitchen Garden

Our strawberries are taking over the kitchen garden, but I don't mind. This week I want to make some strawberry banana nice cream (a vegan version of ice cream) and maybe a chocolate cake with berries and cream for the topping. There's thyme in the garden now, too, which I'll dry and jar for cooking along with the chives and the oregano. Next we'll plant cucumbers, as I use a ton of those in our salads and for snacks.
