March Snapshots
April 3, 2013
The month of March can be defined by the words plants and wedding.
Spring has sprung in Arizona and I am enjoying seeing some of my own plants and seedlings grow as well as the beautiful blooms outside. I took a few days to head back to New York for my sister’s wedding too. It was such a great time seeing so many family and friends.
As always – these are through my insta-lens.
And, I used one of this month’s images for the iPhone backgrounds too!

Growing Sweet Potatoes
February 28, 2013
Did you know that you could get a sweet potato to grow roots? I certainly didn’t!
When a sweet potato sitting on my counter started to grow a few leaves I wondered if I could encourage the growth along. I decided to chop it in half and prop it in a glass with a few toothpicks. I kept the cut part submerged in water and after maybe two weeks, roots started growing! The root growth you see here happened in a week and a half, if you can believe it. I was so surprised one, to get roots – and two, that they grew so fast after they started. They started grow up and out of the water so I figured it was time to pot the ‘plant’.
Not sure what you are supposed to do from here to potentially get more sweet potatoes, but for now I just stuck it in some dirt. I think it looks pretty funny! I’m going to see if a friend might plant it in their garden this season and see if anything comes from it!
Has anyone else done this before? Multiplied sweet potatoes? I am so fascinated by growing things – I think it’s so fun!

OooLaLa.
A peak into my January from my instagram feed!

Sometimes January needs a pop of yellow.
Had to pack Christmas away.
Love my 1979 tea towel calendar.
Pho! With green chopsticks!
Thrifting finds — and, I got an app to do circles with.
January had a few rainy days – it was glorious.
Gorgeous pink sky.

Ah yes, home. Such a nice feeling to be back in the place you grew up. This past August {yes, it’s been awhile!} I was able to spend some time in upstate NY with my family – which according to the pictures was mostly about food and the outdoors!
From top to bottom:
My mom baked me a pie!
Fresh herbs from the garden - oregano for our chicken parm.
The waterfall at Robert Treman is worth the hike.
Tea time with the ladies of the family.
A drive through the fingerlakes.
And finally, what trip home is complete without a trip to the Oakdale Mall and an Auntie Anne’s pretzel?

I figured it was about time to catch up on my trip home this past August!
I flew into Philly and spent a few days there before my darling sister came to pick me up.

Sending Sunshine
December 6, 2012
It seems that this winter is, well – warm.
But just incase you are feeling a bit of the wintery chills wherever you happen to be I figured a few warm and sunshiney shots couldn’t hurt!

I can’t believe it’s already May {can we say birthday month}!
I guess that means it’s time for a visual wrap-up of April – or should I say, month of flowers and puppies.
Enjoy!

Oh my sad little neglected blog- how you wither while I’m off having fun! It doesn’t look like I’ll have too much time this week either and then this weekend it’s off to celebrate a special birthday in San Diego. But here are a few shots of what I’ve been up to.
Definite plant lust {I want them all}
Finding cacti for visiting friends to pose with – such a novelty for us East Coasters!
Always time for lovely flowers
I bought a new red coat {!}
Coffee in bed = a lovely Saturday
I hope everyone has been enjoying March Madness {I’m still fairly confident in my bracket} and the signs of spring!

I hope everyone had a fabulous leap day and a wonderful first day of March!
My March is starting off pretty busy with friends and family visiting so I will have to be signing off for a week or so to give myself ample time to have some fun! I thought I would leave this little guy to keep you company. Enjoy!
