Random stuff

The other day when I was out taking pictures of the pretty hydrangeas, I could NOT resist cutting a few blooms to put in vases in the house. They are just too pretty and too plentiful this year to let them stay outside!

Here are some in the kitchen:

Aren't they just SO pretty? Man, I love hydrangeas.

Also? A while back I was raving about the delicious olives in Spain? Well, they arrived and I've been slowly but surely devouring them! They are SO good. Not as good as the ones in Spain, but very close...They are better at room temperature, but a little saltier than the ones in Spain.

I also ordered marcona almonds from the same website, La Tienda.
Marcona almonds are fat and stout. They make them blanched with just a bit of salt. They are most tasty, as well!

In other randomness, I found these photos from my flower-arranging class I took a couple of winters ago! It was really fun, and we got to bring the arrangements home! We inevitably gave our arrangement to Dan's Grandmother, who was MOST appreciative of just about anything. She was the most gracious woman who ever lived!




The color is terrible in these!
Looks terrible!

I also did three more gardening jobs this week - a couple for some local businesses! I'll take photos soon after the fleurs get well-established.

Ok. That's all I gots today. Happy almost weekend!
