Ta Daaaaa…

Picture 201 Isn’t it a beauty? A Zazzenhaus coffee mill. The truth of the matter is that by the time I get the coffee ground I am wide awake!  Great for the biceps! Check out Sweet Maria’s Coffee site.  Organic green coffee beans, half the price of roasted.  You can roast your own coffee in popcorn air-popper.  A great site, a blog, an education in coffee.

After I took the picture, I noticed the bottle behind the grinder..

Picture 205 Notice the plant lights above all the veggies…

And the shell beside it… I found this about 2 feet down in my garden…

Picture 175 Cucumbers are 3 days old, I love how fast they grow!

It has rained for a week here, almost without stopping. Some call it a tropical disturbance…but whatever..it’s the most rain I have seen since about 3 hurricanes back.  Ah, Florida weather. 

But the garden is sooo happy..look;

Picture 197 I don’t think there could be a more beautiful flower than a hydrangea.

Picture 192 Cucumber plants are so cool, I love the little tendrils…

Picture 194 Broccoli is doing good, so is the basil to the left…I’m in the mood for pesto!

I came home this afternoon and grabbed a camera, flew outside..the sky was incredible… storms moving in again…

Picture 185 Then I realized the light was perfect for pictures….. New passion of mine.  Well, not new, re-found. No times while raising kids, now it’s fun to have time to do things just for fun…and at a leisurely pace.
