I realize it’s not morning any more, but what a lovely one it was! I didn’t really want it to end. Mostly because it was just really nice outside this morning. The kind of morning where you just hang out outside on the patio with a book and a big mug of coffee. And that’s exactly what I did!!
mmmmmm…..coffee!!!
I can and sometimes do drink my coffee black, but I’m a creamer kind of girl at heart. It just gives it a great smooth taste and I just heart it! Here’s what I’m using at the moment- LOVE this stuff!!!
And breakfast!
Whole wheat blueberry banana muffin! It’s a recipe I’ve been using for quite a while and I tried to Vegan-ize it. It just needs another tweak and I’ll share the recipe! And it tastes even better with a bit of Earth Balance- yum!
And can’t forget a good book! I’m a chronic re-reader- I’ll admit it now. I LOVE to read, but not really the “good” stuff- I like fun stuff, especially vampire stuff!! I think I’ve read the Twilight Series about 10 times. The Harry Potter books even more than that(I realize that’s not about vampires, but you know what I mean). And this is my third time through the Sookie Stackhouse series. The only book I’ve read more than the Twilight’s is A Wrinkle In Time. I’ve read that probably a hundred times over the years! It’s always been my favorite book ever since I was a wee lassie! Though The Secret Garden and Little Women are right up there (although those ARE considered the ‘good” stuff, LOL). Ahh, the good ole days! I am a speed reader- I seriously DEVOUR books. I can read read read all the live long day! Oh how I love to read!!
Anyway, this is what I read this morning. Love that Sookie Stackhouse! I’ve already finished it and I’m looking for something else- maybe I’ll re-read A Wrinkle in Time again! 🙂
After that I did my discussion for my business class and took my quiz (96- woot!!). Then I played around in my little garden. Here’s the latest harvest…
A New Mexico Green Chile and a handful of yellow pear tomatoes!
And here’s how my garden’s looking…
Basil and Rosemary
Bell peppers (yellow I think)
Hello little cucumber!!
Yellow Straightneck squash
Okra!
Beefsteak tomato
A wee little watermelon! Isn’t it cute?! (I don’t really have any place for my watermelon vine to go since it’s hanging out in a pot, so it’s just kind of curled around the pot, LOL!)
Zucchini time!
And my yellow pear tomatoes.
Looking good huh? This little garden has been a bigger success than I thought it would be- I’m planning an even bigger one for next spring! And thinking about what I want to do in the fall- maybe broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and some lettuce.
Now I’m going to make some cookies! I’m Vegan-izing one of my mama’s old cookie recipes!! Ranger Cookies- mmmmmm!!!!!! I may or may not post it. I may keep it secret- every gal needs a few secret cookie recipes right?! 😀
Later Alligators!
I’m lovin’ that coconut milk creamer too! And that blueberry muffin looks DELICIOUS!
Oh my goodness it’s just about one of my favorite things in the world right now!
Hey Sarah, I see that you are looking for something new to read. Thought I would recommend a series, if you have not already read them.
Stephanie Plum Series by Janet Evanovich
They are extremly funny, I laugh out loud the whole time I read them….You can usually pick them up cheap at the half price book store…
Thanks Sandi!! I think I’ve heard of the series but I haven’t read them. I’ll look for them the next time I go by the bookstore- thanks so much for the recommendation!
