I just love sunshine. Love, love, love. In order to be outside for as much time as possible today, I decided to plant a flower garden.
I’ll show it to you, but you have to promise not to laugh…
Promise?
I know, it’s kind of sad looking, but geeez…flowers are expensive! I spent a lot of money and all afternoon toiling in the dirt. I really hope it will fill out and expand in time. The flowers really were pretty…just small.
After laboring in the garden, I had a hankering for something fresh.
Lettuce, broccoli slaw, jicama, cucumber, salsa, hummus
To accompany this delicious salad, some trail mix and a big cracker.
When dinnertime rolled around, I was still longing for veggies.
Spaghetti squash with tomato sauce, nutritional yeast and green olives
I ended up picking off the olives because they tasted off, but after that, it was deliciously perfect. For “dessert” I had half of a sweet potato with cinnamon and some flaked coconut.
I ate all the colors of the rainbow today! Yummy colors.
Now I’m going to skedaddle out the door to take Punky on a walk before the wonderful sunshine disappears for the day. Hope your Sundays were sunny!
i loove gardening in the sunshine!
nice colours of flowers! xx
Sweet potatoes and coconut is a new one-I’ll have to try that ASAP!
The garden looks great, it just needs time.
Don’t worry, the garden will fill in really fast!
aww your garden will bloom fast! its just the beginning and they already look great
mmm the sweet potato with coconut looks great!
Our garden doesn’t look half that good! We just planted so this weekend and yours really looks great!
Mmm coconut on sweet potato is such a great idea!
i LOVE when i eat colors of the rainbow – it makes eating so much more enjoyable and pleasing.
and your flowers are gorge.
love ya dear!
Oh I LOVE your garden!!! I think it’s beautiful and that you’re so lucky you even have a backyard to plant in!
I’m glad you had a good sunny day outside – and I loved your morning cake picture yesterday! It was so cozy!
Hey – gardens have to start somewhere! I’m sure they will fill out and look beautiful!
Sweet potatoes and coconut sounds like an awesome combination! Happy Memorial Day, Katie!
Flowers look great for the first day. They’ll fill out and look mighty fine. Have a great day.
I am a teacher, too! Just came across your blog. And, after I teach I feel like “Yes, I want cake.” So, I love that title.
Love the gardens!
I started a blog, so feel free to stop by. I’m definitely adding you to my blogroll!

it looks great and i am sure that if you add a little mulch around the flowers it wont look as barren!!
The spaghetti squash looks SO GOOD!!! I seriously need to try it!
Awww, your flower garden is cute!!
i have no clue about gardening…i have no clue what i’m going to do when i ‘grow up’ and have my own garden lol. i’m sure the flowers will grow in and it’s better that they’re space apart now!? no clue though hehe. i hate how expensive it can be though but in the end a beautiful garden can really make your mood better just looking at it!
yummy combo of coconut/sweet potato- i must try! i love it with ketchup or bbq sauce or laughing cow cheese. not a fan of it with nut btuter though
ah i almost forgot about jicama! gotta get some. the flowers look great, they are super expensive, so true!
