The Ficus Tree Experiment

After getting a new leaf on my orchid – not a flower just a leaf – I have suddenly become brave enough to try and nurture this ficus tree back to it’s previous luster. I found it on the curb – because there is no way I’m going to actually buy one only to bring it home and kill it. I have been there and done that. So there it was waiting to be dumped fading away in a cracked plastic planter. I brought it home, picked up some Miracle Grow Potting Soil, a ceramic pot with saucer, replanted it and waited…

???????????????????????????????

THEN this started to happen…

and suddenly…

I’m starting to think that just maybe I can do this.

Wish me luck!

I haven’t been visiting this space as much as I would like. You know how it is…life gets in the way, you get busy and start making excuses for why it’s okay that you haven’t posted on your blog. Things like – no one will miss if I don’t write something – people aren’t interested – nobody reads it anyway – it’s just another recipe. However, that’s not why I blog – I blog to document my world, my life, my loves, all the cool things I find on this vast well of information. I blog for me.

So here is a pinch of my documentation as of late..

These look yummy! Don’t they? Of course I would have to adjust the vegetables rolled in the steak because I am married to the pickiest guy on the planet. Still, I think it might work so I’m going to give it a whirl.

Check out the recipe here.

And what about these, huh? Simple. Simple. Simple. I like simple.

Then a brand new kitchen to cook it all in.

I look at lots of pictures of kitchens and pin a lot of kitchens and I gotta say this is, by far, my favoritest kitchen EVER.

Get a look into this brilliant designer and see this kitchen bigger and better here.

Have a wonderful and safe Holiday weekend!
