It Appears to be Summer...

But it's not. Not summer and just barely spring. Oh well. 

"Unseasonably cold weather" says the meteorologist.

I wish it was the 4th of July.

It's always the 4th of July in my heart.

Emmie, my Americana kitty.

I finally bought new plants for our deck and they've been camping "out" inside of our apartment because of the freezing temperatures we've had almost every night for the past few days.

So I choose to make art out of my gypsy plants.

Here's what it Actually looks like outside.

 I don't know how these little buddies have survived (although I guess they are succulents!)

New potting soil and pots coming soon.

There's a trick to getting her to look so awesome.

I simply waved my 79 cent American flag above my head.

A win/win.

 Previous flowers had their week to shine.

They still look pretty.

Peas?

 

A side dish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Peas are filling.

The rosemary flavor in the couscous pairs well with simple peas.

Add salt and pepper.

 

 

 

The usual accompaniment.

 

 

 

 



1 Year on the "Want List"

 

Ahh finally! I have the shoes that I've been wanting for a year! ....Only last year I was unsure if I could pull them off. I'm starting to care less what people think.

 

 

 

Emmie's always fascinated (like any cat) with new things that enter the apartment.

A Fitting Opener

I figured a picture of my cat, sometimes called "City Kitty" would be a great introduction to this blog (and me)!
