You say Tomato, I say Tomahto

Our tomato harvest has officially begun.  Yay! Finally! Tuesday I made my first batch of tomato sauce- 2 quarts worth. I think I am going to start prepping my tomatoes for sauce (ie. blanching, removing skin, removing seeds and excess liquid, and chopping) and then throwing them in a ziplock in the freezer until I can make a really, really large batch of sauce. 2 quarts is rather anti-climactic. 

Eucerin + Hair = Disaster

While he was playing in his room my little boy got a hold of his Eucerin cream and proceeded to smear it all over his hair and his big truck. Once this was discovered said boy and his truck where plopped into the tub. Three shampoos later my little one's hair is extremely textured... we will see what it  looks like when it dries. What can you do but laugh? I love having a boy. 

My Spring Garden

I've wanted to start a blog for at least six months now, probably longer, but it never happened. I started playing around with WordPress but  never got to the point of posting.  I wanted my blog to be perfect before I started and I had a hard time figuring out how to use WordPress. Blogger seems so much easier to me. A good friend suggested the other week that we become Blogger buddies and use Blogger instead- brilliant!

So, I've decided I need to start posting even if it's not perfect. In my mind I had this first post planned out. I would have a picture of a teacup and talk about why I picked the name Cup of Earl Grey Tea for my blog. That will be another post. Right now I am going to give you pictures of my garden from this spring.

 I planted green bib lettuce and romaine. They did really well. I was especially pleased with the romaine.

 I love how these look like giant purple roses.

 Home grown broccoli tastes amazing!

Did you know that onions can grow flowers?

Hopefully this gets the creative juices flowing and you start hearing from me regularly. I have lots of ideas of what to share with you.  Thanks for letting me share!
