Garden Loom

Today, I built a garden loom. I was going to build one of out boards & whatnot. Then I realized how much that would cost. So instead, I played with sticks like my boys always do. All I spent was 2.75 on a roll of twine and 1.5 hours later, I have a fabulous garden loom.

Addicted to Granola

Since I'm not eating ice cream as much these days, I've been making lots of granola. Not just plain, boring granola, but super awesome stuff! I eat it with some Stonyfield Farm Low Fat French Vanilla yogurt. It is so sweet and delicious. Here is what I toss in my granola after melting the peanut butter & honey together:

Old Fashioned Oats
Ground Flax Seed
Wheat Germ
Freeze Dried Cranberries
Raisins
Ground Mixed Nuts

The last batch also included some diced dried apples that my Grandma gave me. She has apple trees in her yard that we used to climb as kids.

I have even been eating it for breakfast but I might have to back off because I'm going through a batch a week! However, I might have to make more soon just so that I can take pictures. Who doesn't want to see beautiful granola?!

Fresh Veggies and Lunch at the Lake

Wednesday, I picked some nice sweet peppers and sweet corn. This is just the first few ears. I didn't end up with near as much corn as I would have liked. We ended up with about 6 that were good. Live & Learn. Then we went to Lake Crawford for lunch and some swimming. Our go-to lunch for these outings is peanut butter & jelly. This time I brought along some Just Tomatoes fruit. I *love* the pineapple!
