...

I am going to the shore tomorrow morning.

I hope you will also have a great weekend!

ZIELONO MI...

Hope you had great Saturday! I had. I can say I was resting. No cleaning ( I only run dishwasher), no cooking - yesterday I made one of my husband's favourite dishes: crepes with mushrooms, spinach and Alfredo sauce - so we had some leftovers for dinner today! I only baked a quick cake with strawberries and whipped cream ( real whipped cream ). I didn't want to use strawberries from store, because they are not real - they grow in green houses and they taste the same all year round, so I went to Linvilla Orchards to get "real" ones. Linvilla is farm dedicated to agriculture, entertainment and education. They raise they own fresh fruits and vegetables that you can pick yourself or purchase in our Farm Market. Their bakery makes delicious pull-apart bread which we love. There is a great playground and additionally children can feed chickens, ducks and see a horse or a goat.

I love plants. Both indoor and outdoor. Because of traveling a lot I can't have to many indoor ones: I only have zamioculcas ( it is great for people who forget to water plants) and 2 weeks ago I bought my first orchid. I hope it will survive and rebloom in the future.

There is a different story with my garden. I love having blooming plants outside. After living in a block of flats for 26 years now I have my own little garden. Every year I buy annuals my husband plants tomatoes and basil. Next year we are going to build a planting box to start growing more vegetables.

This is a picture of my front yard.

My lavender. This picture is especially for Kasia - szkieuka.
And some color on my front steps.

Have a great Sunday!

WYRÓŻNIENIE

Dostałam po raz pierwszy wyróżnienie.
Od Migot77

http://bibelociara.blogspot.com/

Dziękuję bardzo!

Zasady przyznawania nagrody są takie:Należy wymienić 5 rzeczy, od których jest się "uzależnionym",bez których nie można żyć,a nagrodę przyznać kolejnym 5 osobom,których blogi lubimy/odwiedzamy.

Jestem uzależniona od:

1. INTERNETU:

a konkretniej odwiedzania moich ulubionych stron i WASZYCH BLOGÓW.

2. DOBREJ HERBATY wraz z KUBKAMI I FILIŻANKAMI.

Piję co najmniej 6 kubków dziennie.

Do zeszłego roku myślałam, że herbata na mnie nie działa

(a raczej kofeina w niej zawarta).

Że działa przekonałam się w zeszłym roku w szpitalu,

gdzie musiałam spędzić 2 dni bez picia herbaty.

Jak mnie wypuśli to w drodze do domu prawie usnełam w autobusie.

3. SCRAPOWANIA

Robię więcej kartek oraz mini albumów niż scrapów,

ale obiecuję poprawę.

4. KWIATÓW

W doniczkach, ciętych, w skrzynkach balkonowych i tych w ogródku też.

Hoduję namiętnie lawendę oraz maciejkę przemycaną z Polski.

W zeszłym roku z braku prawdziwego ogródka, posadziliśmy pomidory w doniczkach.

Zajadaliśmy się nimi całe lato.

5. MOICH PRZYJACIÓŁ I ZNAJOMYCH

tych w Polsce i tych w USA.

Przy odrobinie wysiłku podtrzymywanie dobrych relacji procentuje moim dobrym samopoczuciem i mniejszą tęsknotą za Polską.

Nagrodę przyznaję właścicielkom nastepujących blogów

(kolejność jest przypadkowa):

1. http://mumowy.blogspot.com/ - MUMA

2. http://kulczysko.blogspot.com/ - KULKA

Pozdrowienia dla wszystkich!!!

FIRST PROJECT THIS YEAR

Today in the morning I decided to create something

so I made another bookmark.

I have so much stuff in my crafty room

that it is high time to start using them in a creative way, not only storing.

It is a part of my 2009 resolution:

Make more crafts, start and finish some albums

(for example honeymoon in Ireland)

and stop postponing important things to do which I have to do anyway.

I started yesterday with doing my sister's and my American taxes

from 2006 and 2007.

It is not my fault that IRS (tax office of USA)

gives you 3 years to file taxes if you do not owe anything.

I took my time to process the thought that I had to do them.

It took me more to print forms and manuals (45 pages each)

than filling in information and numbers.

Actually it was easy!

I have one more thing for this year:

learn how to use Photoshop

(first I have to find the CD with it- it is somewhere in the house).

Have a great year everybody!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

My husband & I are really proud of our Christmas tree this year.
We bought tons of ornaments and we also got some as Christmas gifts.

CHOCOLATE OBSESSION

I am totally obsessed with Peppermint Bark Chocolate.
It is my favourite flavour of Christmas season.

I have at least one little square

(or two, or three, or more... who cares!) every day.

I will make sure to buy some for January before the end of December,

because they are special limited editions.
