Backwards

Yet again I posted the pictures in the opposite order I planned. Sometimes it's okay to start at the end.

Could I have taken a more boring looking pictures?

Anyway this is my new favorite drink.  It's a homemade Brazilian limeade and boy is it tasty.

The shots from the cell phone really don't do it justice.  But I love cloudy sunsets we get here.  I'm sure everywhere has their great sunsets but I'm partial to ours with the clouds and mountains.

Anyone want some snapdragon seeds? Really...they are taking over and I have been pulling some out before they are even dead.  Don't get me wrong they are so pretty but I would like some of my other flowers to have some recognition too.  Each little flower pod has about 100-200 seeds, so be warned, they WILL spread but they are low maintenance.

This is the day I decided, "Screw it, I am happy with myself if you have problems with me lets take it out back."  The way I look, the way I laugh, the way I run, my sense of humor, my demeanor and everything else is who I am. Deal with it or I will punch you in the face.

My husband has been sweet enough to take me to Thanksgiving Points Gardens on numerous occasions.  This is when we were there for the Tulip festival this spring, I believe.   I may just get me a pass so I can take a good book and hang out for a few hours.  It is so relaxing and the next time you are in town (cause the only people that read this don't live here) you need to go see the new "Light of the World" exhibit.

Quickies from my phone

First I need to vent. I already did this post but it was deleted. Then saved incorrectly and I am really mad at blogger so...on with the show now.

Enola and I went to Youth Conference before the "Wood Hollow" Fire which started the day we left and burned the exact spot we were staying.  

We went to the "Mormon Miracle Pageant" It was good and all, filled with some overacting but still good.  The only giggles to be heard were coming from our ward (leaders included) We have a great youth group and am lucky I get to hang out with them, especially the cute girl in the picture with me.

The following two pictures are from Chris' phone, therefore the quality is worse than mine.

He is giving me his honest reaction to...

My homemade salsa.  I just threw together what I wanted and what I thought sounded good.  I would have liked more heat but Chris didn't know if his stomach could handle it.  It tasted better the longer it sat.

I'm not sure why I felt like playing with my food all last week but I also made a cilantro, lime, buttermilk, ranch dressing which is pretty good.

Enola and I went to the nations 3rd best farmers market (according to some article Chris read) in S.L.C and picked up some fresh fruit among other things.  So I made this thing of beauty.  

YUMMY!

I was pretty pleased with myself since I didn't use any recipes, and I need recipes.

Enjoying the market, where I was a sucker for the young kids playing the violin.  

They were amahzing!

Some love fruit during my no sugar month.

No sugar month is over and I had some ice cream to celebrate....

Too sweet and it wasn't even Risser portioned.  I like this no sugar stuff, but I like treats too so it's all about portion control.  New month new goal

not portion control that's a forever thing....
