The girls started picking the flowers as soon as the first one appeared. Each day they have handfuls to show me. I particularly love this little project Neka came up with.
Neka showing off her new summer clothes. The girls have lived in corduroy pants this winter and it was time for some shorts. I love how warm it's been in the last couple of days.
Yesterday I had a quiet moment while the girls were napping and I wanted to show you my succulent garden, it was my mother's day gift to myself:) I wanted some plants for the house that weren't too fussy about getting lots of water and these are just perfect.
When I was at the grocery store I saw some lovely rhubard and these delightful strawberries. I saw the tasted the crumble they would make and so they came home with me.
The crumble I made with about 3/4 cup butter, 1 cup flour, 1 1/2 cup quick oats, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 cup sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon. I had a nibble before I put it on top of the fruit and I wanted to eat more of it, soooo yummy:)
On the fruit I put 2 packages of vanilla sugar plus a generous handful of regular sugar. The smell of the fresh strawberries with the vanilla sugar on top was divine!
This is the end result. I think Beckie's choice of Neopolitan ice cream was perfect on top. There's a little leftover for dessert today. I'll mow the lawn and get the house tidy for a visit from my family. My mom is flying back from Germany today and I know she'll have lots of stories. The doors are open and the soft air is calling me outdoors. Have a wonderful day!
