Sunshine, Flowers, and Kittens

Two of the most perfect roses from our front yard.
This morning they were in their prime so I had to snip them and put them in my new vase.
Aren't they pretty?

I love the morning light, it shines ever so bright in the kitchen window.

This is our Chausie Zahra. We rarely call her by that name though. It means "Flower" in Arabic. She also enjoys the morning light and smelling the fresh air when I open the window.
Isn't she pretty?

Summer Fruit

I love me some Fruit.
For breakfast, lunch or even dinner. Better yet... dessert! It's too hot for baking and I've already been doing too much of that as it is. (Snickerdoodles anyone?)
Give me something fresh and cold, sweet and colorful and my cravings are met. This is probably why going to the Farmer's Market is one of my favorite things to do. I highly recommend it.

Strawberries, Nectarines, and Peaches.

Oh, and because there was about a third of a cup left of dark ghirardelli chocolate chips from a previous batch of cookies, I couldn't resist melting them and drizzling atop as a "garnish" Ha.

D.I.Y. Nerdness

For the past 2 weeks I wasn't at all into this project that was consuming almost every second of Jordan's free-time... but now that this little gadget is finished I am a lot more enthusiastic about what this thing can do. After all his hard work, endless stops to Fry's, and the lingering smell of wood and paint.....he plugged it in and it worked! The first thing I played was Soul Caliber IV and was amazed at how much more fun it was and how much more control you have when playing with an actual joystick....and buttons that click!

Honestly, I think the best part is the clicking noises the buttons and joystick make when you play. It's quite satisfying. Jordan for the win!

Things that are Green

Thrift Store Find

I love the color green, especially green glass! These tea cups were too cute to pass up. I will drink all things green in them.
