Throw eggs, veggies, cheese and meat into a shell and you have a delicious quiche! This quiche included ham, cheddar, summer squash, tomatoes and onion. Everyone ate it up. I made two quiches and froze one. I’ve been making lots of double recipes lately to use our garden bounty responsibly. I also start school next [...]
That’s about the extent of the snow pea harvest. They were tasty. It’s been too hot here this summer for them to really get started. It’s still wonderful to grow food from seed. Have a happy day.
Miss Petrie Deux and I were at the grocery store on Friday and the floral area employee gave us a bouquet of flowers. Isn’t that sweet? She is always so generous with the girls, giving them balloons almost every time we hit Albertsons. Have a sweet day.

A few months ago I made a gift of stationery for a lovely family friend. I wanted the stationery to look [...]
This was my biggest tomato haul, ever! Enjoy your fruits and veggies today. Thanks to An Oregon Cottage for hosting this Tuesday Garden Party.

Miss Petrie bought these snazzy Sketchers with her allowance money. She has wanted them for months. She’ll appreciate them more because [...]

But they are delicious and prolific. 1 Armenian cucumber (our first of the season) 5 Early Girl tomatoes 3 Patio tomatoes and 2 jalapenos We enjoyed sliced tomatoes with salt as our dinner salad. Mr. Petrie and I [...]
We have many re-useable water bottles and I found they were dusty when we needed to take a bottle of water somewhere. I started to fill them with water and put them in the fridge. The water is cold and my girls can grab them easily. It’s a good way for everyone to have access [...]
Me and the girls enjoying a hot summer day in August. I’ve been taking tons of pictures and need to write lots of blog posts. Have a great day.
