Baby showers are a lot of fun to prepare and to attend. These are such happy moments not only for the new parents, but also for all the guests.
This post should have taken place a little sooner…like 2 years ago……but I am sure you will enjoy it now as much as you would have then…..:-)
I will share many pictures of diaper cakes prepared for this occasion, as well as some really fun craft ideas to experiment with at such occasions.
With utility bills constantly going up, there is not much you can do about the rates, but you can be creative about conserving energy, and cutting the usage cost of your everyday appliances, and lighting, plus doing some comparison shopping when planning to purchase major appliances.
I was searching for a torte recipe for a special occasion. One that would be different from any other tortes I made before, yet not too difficult to prepare. I selected a recipe for Irene’s Torte (I modified it slightly to conform to my taste), from a Ukrainian Traditional Cookery, by Savella Stechishin. I find lots of great recipes in her cook book.
My most favorite season is Spring, but Summer and early Autumn are next on my list.
I love the beauty of flowering plants, and wish they would last forever. However, the hot weather and the upcoming Autumn season is already marking its presence in my summer garden.
Most of my vegetable plants are done for the season, except tomatoes, so I am hoping that my second try with seeding cucumbers, dill, parsley and red beets will be successful before the frost gets here. I will keep you posted, as this is my first time ever trying to extend the growing season of these veggies and herbs.
Watching your flower plants produce gorgeous blooms, and your veggies mature for harvesting, is the most rewarding experience of the hobby of gardening.
June is here, so the spring flowers are done blooming, but the perennials are filling out the void by showing off their beauty, and will continue to do so until late fall.
Also, the vegetable garden is progressing nicely and we already are able to use the lettuce, dill, sorrel, parsley, green beans, scallions, rhubarb and strawberries.
