Alex takes awesome pictures.
The backyard is flourishing in beauty right now.
The herbs are looking yummy, too. Peppermint. MMMmmhhhh yum.
I like the blooms of the trumpet vine...as long as it stays outside. For some reason it takes multiple times for little people to remember that ants spew out of these beauties.
Such peace.
My begonias aren't happy this year. They are not growing very bountifully like usual. But at least they aren't dead. They are still my favorite...and my Grandma's favorite when I was little.
I wish Alex would've been along with us in Oklahoma this past weekend. She'd have loved my cousin's awesome creations that are more than just a garden. My cousin is a master gardner and I felt like I should pay her to walk through her garden. I didn't even get a picture of her art!
One more before I get caught by E. :) He'll be home for lunch soon and ask me what I've done today. hahaha.
Your flowers are beautiful. It makes me sad that falls is coming.
So I read about your cheesecake on Meg's blog. I've made it twice now and both times the middle didn't get done. Yesterday I added two cups of mini chocolate chips so there was a ton of batter in the pan when I baked it. I kept adding to the baking time and eventually the top and edges were starting to burn, but when we cooled and cut it the middle was goop. Help!
I'm so frustrated because the parts that bake all the way taste so good but it doesn't look nice and firm and pretty like yours. I think my pan is too small and maybe doesn't work as well because it's shiny metal. What do you think?
