“Let Nature be your teacher.” – William Wordsworth
This weekend: We explored the garden. Searching for worms, beetles, and what other interesting insects we came across. Our daughter caught a few with her insect net and placed them in her bug catcher. Soon after exploring with her magnifying glass, we released these tiny critters back where they belong.
We also enjoyed our time exploring flowers. Up close and personal -using the magnifying glass. We discussed the different shapes, textures, designs, and more.
In my garden: Flowers are bloomed, bees are happy-buzzing around and hummingbirds stop in for a visit.
In the kitchen- My husband decided to make a few donut balls.- Warm and iced over with a sweet delicious frosting.
We enjoyed every last bite...
Later in the kitchen- I prepared a side dish to go along with the brisket my husband had been cooking for hours. I put together one of my favorites-cauliflower bake with green olives, parsley, and chopped croutons. You combine everything with olive oil. Then season with a bit of salt and pepper.- Oh my, it's delicious. We used habanero olives that we picked up from World Market.
We enjoyed our time spent exploring, baking, and cooking. We also took our first hospital tour. We have our next one scheduled for this upcoming weekend. I took some notes and I'll compare the two. We experienced rain on Saturday. It was quick but nice. After the rain came to an end, we went on a nice family bike ride. On our bike ride, we saw, horses, and trains, and the sky was absolutely beautiful as the sun was setting.
Hello and welcome new readers. I hope you all enjoy your stay! :)
I was actually craving donuts yesterday. I was gonna go to this local donut shop but didn't have time :(
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is braver than mine. She is recently terrified of bugs even worms. I tried to show her a worm I found in the yard and she ran away screaming lol I hope she gets over this fear
Lol, don't you just love when those cravings happen?! I honestly wasn't expecting that for breakfast. My husband just made it and was like here are some donuts. :) Oh don't worry your daughter will get over that fear. Our daughter will look at worms, but she has not touched it.- Lol
DeleteBut she did push a roly poly off our front porch, lol.
What a nice time you all had. The food looks delicious! You're always making something good. I hope the next hospital tour goes well, good luck with the choice.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, aw thank you. I was hoping this first hospital tour would blow me away. That wasn't the case at all. Both my husband and I were not into it. Hopefully this next one will be much better. I wish I wasn't so picky, but I am when it comes down to things like this. Thank you for your kind words. :)
DeleteLooks like a sweet outdoor adventure :)
