We don't have any grass at our new house so Minnie likes to take the opportunity to frog it out on the neighbors grass!

I finally got a Fiddle Leaf Fig! Planted it in my festive orange Gainey pot that the former owners left here and I think it looks fab!

Yesterday I was finally able to put the plants outside that I had kept alive all Winter. Apparently, Deer find geraniums to be quite tasty.

Plenty of cool stuff going on today! We went to the Cheyenne Canyon Hummingbird Festival and we parked by the Starr Kemf sculpture house. I love all of them but these two are my favorite!


We saw a few hummingbirds but I was unable to get a really good picture, this one was the best.


They also had a birds of prey rescue group there - this guy was super cool.

So you work for 10 hours and then you come home and the quick recipe you thought would be fun to try takes you an hour and a half to prepare and then you are left with this.
Reason #1 why I hate to cook.

I just love the bright Spring green of new leaves!
