About Me

My photo
Concord, California, United States
I am a sometimes-writer, everyday mama, creative failure and experimental cook. I am interested in living a beautiful life, spending time with my family and making things that I can feel proud of. When I'm by myself I'm usually outside. Don't bother calling because chances are that I didn't bring my cell phone because I couldn't find it. If you see me walking, it's because I lost my keys and if you see me with only one child... I'm probably in big trouble.

Landscaping

Our California house is pretty spectacular! The house itself is super-cute, but the real power lies in our yard. We have a gigantic Orange tree, two lemon trees, a peach tree, a peppermint patch, a huge rosemary bush, a lavender bush, roses and tigerlillies galore and those are just what I recognize!

What amazes me is that our lemon tree and orange tree produce gigantic fruit. It's the kind of gigantic that I'd see in a market and pass on because I'd assume it had been shot with meathead fruit steroids.

Check it out!

I really need to learn how to take care of our landscaping. I want the yard to look beautiful, which is hard because I tend to kill pretty much everything I touch. I have been struggling to grow an avocado tree for YEARS and have only gotten it to work once (which Sherbert immediately ruined by eating).

That said, I'm off to do a little weeding!
