The beginning. My newly planted herb and
vegetable garden.
Another beautiful, languid Sunday. I woke up way too early (even with Spring forward) but was delighted by the brightest blue, not a cloud in the sky morning so I put on some suntan lotion for the first time this season and laid out, with a good book and some tunes in my backyard. There are few better things in life than some quality sun and a lack of distractions. After a couple of hours spent this way, we went over to Hollywood to go to the Farmer's Market and the Hungry Cat for brunch. Though Chris didn't get the french toast he had craved, we gorged on fish and chips (him) and the light yet deeelish fresh market lettuce salad (me). My salad was quite simple but utterly incredible- avocado, shaved parmesan, crumbled hard boiled egg and some red onion. Unfortunately we lingered too long and missed the market, so we popped in to Mordigan's Nursery on 3rd and Fairfax, where I picked up some tomatoes, lettuce, cilantro, basil and parsley. Mind you this is my 4th attempt at having an herb/vegetable garden. I was successful once in Santa Barbara, so I'm hoping luck is on my side this time. Looking forward to many spring/summer meals with home grown goods.. I'll keep you updated with its progress.
PS who else is absolutely loving this late afternoon sunshine? I love napping in my bed around this time with the warm sun streaming through the window..
