Still working on the process of blogging from my iPhone. This is a pic I took with my iPhone of my alliums that decided to bloom nearly a month after all the other alliums in our neighborhood.
When Aaron and I were in NYC we stopped into a CB2. He shook his head when he saw me pick up these little bud vases. I have a bad habit of buying things that are going to be a challenge to get home on the plane.
I got them anyhow and I am so glad I did. They are tiny, about the size of a lemon, just right for these little blooms.
CB2 had so many cool vases! I love the hanging ones! It was hard to limit myself.
We just harvested the last of our garden for the year. The final crop
was our butternut and acorn squash.
I have pictures of this year's garden on My
Gallery.
Aaron made yummy butternut squash soup, but I forgot to take a picture
of it so all I have is a picture of the soup tureens we ate it out of. This
recipe is really good, esp if you put a dollop (or two) of
creme fraiche on top.
I also moved all my herbs inside and now my dining room smells like
sage and rosemary. Yum.
I have pictures of some of this year's flowers on My
Gallery too.
While we were in Ithaca we went to visit an orchid grower that Aaron met recently at a floral show. You may have seen his orchids at Wegmans. We got a tour of his greenhouse... there were hundreds and hundreds of orchids growing. Then we had tea with him which was amazing. I was thrilled because my two orchids at home just bloomed and I got to take another home to join them.
