Vaccinated supper tonite… Live from NYC…
Bright ineffective sun… temps still in the 40’s… waiting impatiently for a warm up coming to the Big Apple 🍎 in the next few days 😁
Lots of new bird calls this afternoon… couldn’t see the chirper… hearing their calls… spring approaching… bringing new voices to the party 🐦 a hoping for another nest in our bushes or trees… last years robins nest was delightful 🥰
Breakfast for three… Mr Sam meowing loudly as his kibble approached… the hubs enjoying an omelette with his morning brew ☕️ iced coffee🧋on the menu for yours truly along with a turkey mini wrap 🌯
Scooted out for a bit… cold but sunny… checking in on the greenhouse… waiting for the new planting season to begin… spending the afternoon caring for the houseplants… xmas cactus… aloe… spider plants… Swedish Ivy… pothos… a giant split leaf philodendron… two short palm trees… Gardenia and lemon tree… both waiting for access to the deck 🍋
Planting seeds for the greenhouse… broccoli… bush peas… snow peas and turnips… first crops moved into the greenhouse early April… cold loving plants… the first harvest. Tomatoes… sweet peppers… eggplant… cucumbers and hot peppers all waiting till may when last frosts are passed… heat loving crops for second harvest… getting excited for the work ahead… loving the feel of earth in hand once again 🥰
Supper tonite… a nod to New Orleans… spicy shrimp and cheesy grits…
Roasted shrimp spiced with Cajun spice blend (from Mountain rose herbs) chili powder… ground coriander… salt and pepper and olive oil…
Grits cooked in chicken broth with salt & pepper… added in 1 tbsp butter… 1/2 c Parmesan and 3/4 c of grated horseradish cheddar off the heat… stirring until melted and creamy… shrimp atop the bowl of steaming grits 🍤
The hubs hydroponic arugula (forgot a pic 😢) a delicious side dish of greens… served alongside a glass of Sauvignon Blanc 🥂
In honor of National Pound Cake day… dessert… peach pound cake with vanilla bean ice cream and decaf coffee ☕️ for the hubs
As Putin bombs Ukraine our hearts break for the people of both countries… Ukrainian people suffering needlessly in an amoral invasion… Russian people unsupportive of Putin’s illegal war losing their few freedoms as well… an horrific situation… let clearer heads prevail… End this conflict NOW
#peaceforukraine🇺🇦 🇷🇺
Covid infections below 2% in the NY for the first time in months… mask mandates being lifted across America little by little… hoping that the pandemics grip on our country is lifting 🤞 Excellent time to #GetYourJabOn be part of the solution… practice self care… mask up where required and wash those germy hands 😷💕
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
