I'm not sure why I waited until this year the plant our first cutting garden. We have always been veggie/herb/perennial obsessed (especially grasses) but I thought it might but fun to have some flowers this year to cut and play with. . . . . it was a great idea because we just let the girls have scissors and buckets and they go to town. They water and weed away and then arrange the flowers in vases. They can never cut too many because the flowers are growing like gangbusters, its awesome. They really do weed and water with little watering cans. So cute it hurts. This is all usually performed in the favorite outfit of the week, which right now is winter pajamas with life vests over the top, buckled "tight."
Dead bird. We took photos so it would be easier not to "save" it.
Delia's arrangement.
Blueberry muffins from Ina's book. Yummy. My changes; I used canola oil, not butter, and yogurt, not sour cream.
