Belated Lights

Every year during the holidays I like to see the light displays in town and around our neighborhood. There is one family that has been doing a huge display on their property that is always spectacular, and includes golden lights on a massive black oak tree that is probably 200+ years old.

With the rush of finishing up my final project for work I didn't get to see the lights last year. While we were driving back from our walk by the lake at sunset my guy went through town and by this one neighbor's house, and most of the lights were still on display. We noticed that the memorable black oak tree appears to be dying now, so it may be the last year we will see it done up in lights.

None of my pictures of the black oak tree turned out well, either (my camera doesn't work well at night.) So now it will have to remain in my memory.

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.

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.

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.
