Eldest Daughter, GD Kate, and I went plant shopping today. We had a fun morning . When I got tired I went to sit in the small sitting area that is provided by the place. You can see the cart with some of our choices beside me. In the afternoon I planted out most of mine. I think I have enough now. lol
What's happening in the kitchen....I baked a cheesecake then I made an Apple cake using a recipe that Gina posted on her blog The Cannary Family. Since the oven was on and the day was cool I made a pot of baked Beans.
Here's more Full Moon information from the internet for anyone who is interested.
May is ending with a rare celestial event: a Blue Moon.
The second full moon of the month will rise on the night of Friday, May 30, into the early morning of Saturday, May 31. The month's first full moon, the Flower Moon, rose on May 1.
June will bring the Strawberry Full moon. That will be on the 29th. No doubt by then the strawberry harvest will be in full swing. We had our first taste of local berries this past week and they were very delicious. The price of those first berries is quite high but will come down, hopefully.
That's it for today. Thanks for visiting.
Lovely shopping! The pastries sound delicious. I should bake something too.
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely there next to a basket of flowers, always nice to look for flowers & plant them. I like the moon, and all of it's beautiful glory. I didn't know about the blue moon this month. Faith@FarmhouseWorthy
ReplyDeleteHello GM/MJ, enjoyed visiting with you today......love cheesecake!
ReplyDeleteYou look happy sitting there! I went into a greenhouse and shop yesterday looking for a big geranium potted and impatiens hanging pot...we found both. It was a fun time. I forgot how fun it is to walk through a greenhouse full of flowering plants. Jim insisted on also buying beer bread mix! Ha. Your apple cake looks divine. take good care.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture of you by the flowers, and your cheesecake and apple cake sound delicious.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Springtime means flowers.... and evidently cheesecake. Both are welcomed at my house anytime.
ReplyDeletehahaha - I need a poster like that one at the top! I am afraid to go to the nursery anymore because it is almost impossible not to buy more plants than I can use. When I get home, I am not happy trying to find the place to plant them, or the time to do it....
ReplyDeleteI do want to buy so.e plants for outside our front door. It looks so bare at the moment, but it is scorching in the sun. I need something colourful, sun-loving, and drought resistant as I'm not wonderful at remembering to water things... Maybe I need to buy fabric flowers!
ReplyDeleteOh, I look forward to seeing your new plants in the garden. The cakes sound delicious. I hope it isn't too cloudy and I can get a nice photo of the Blue Moon.
ReplyDeleteYeah for baking! I don't bake much for two people:)
ReplyDeleteGreat shopping! I love your photo and illustrations! Although I love flowers and plants, I do not have a green thumb at all! And I have never had a garden, as I have always lived in an apartment building. However, I love to take my walks in nature and whenever I see pretty flowers, trees or plants, I take photos and share them on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of you, you look radiant!
Good for you for getting everything that you bought planted right away. I am done plant shopping and planting, but we still have a few big jobs left to do in the garden before we just get to the maintenance stage.
ReplyDeleteI saw a big moon out og my window last night and wondered about the full moon. BTW, the 31st is Sunday.
Nice to see a photo of you!
ReplyDeleteOh, your garden will be gorgeous with all the colorful plants you purchased. I would love to be in your kitchen when you are baking, it must smell amazing! You always share such great information and that’s a sweet photo of you! Best, Virginia
ReplyDeleteOOh, I'm glad you made the cake. I have two pieces left of mine and I am considering crumbling them and stirring into ice cream. (:
ReplyDeleteCheesecake and Apple Cake both sound delicious! But the baked beans sound even better!
ReplyDeleteI love taking advantage when the oven is on to get other things in as well. Baked beans sound wonderful.
