~Hellebores & Our Garden Shed ~

I love hellebores. 

Stan and I went to La Costa Nursery in San Diego County 

and bought some new plants for our garden!

Hellebores are easy to grow and can live for decades. 

They're deer proof and drought tolerant!

This one is called,

~HGC Love Bug~

This hellebores has longer stems.

~Penny's Pink~

Can't wait to plant them!

I made some new wreaths for the garden shed.

I'm going to add fresh flowers

 from our garden soon to the wreaths!!

Our flower seeds from 

Floret Flower Farm

are getting bigger everyday!!

 Basil plants happily growing in a tomato can!

I made parmesan heart crisps to add to a salad!

We made fried rice with peas and mushrooms for dinner.

Also

Ina Garten's recipe 

Parmesan Roasted Asparagus

Iced Prosecco with fruit for dessert with

Ina Garten's

Parmesan & Thyme Crackers

Ending to a wonderful day!!

We're leaving tomorrow for

~Northwest Flower & Garden Show & Astoria and Simple & Sweet Fridays #209~

As I promised last week,

I wanted to share photos of our trip to 

  the

Northwest Flower & Garden Show

in Seattle, Washington. 

It was a lot of fun.

One of my favorite vendors,

Christianson's Nursery & Greenhouses.

A outdoor octopus shaped shower made out of shells.

Loved this whimsical playhouse.

~Inspiring Displays~

Love the Mosiac Mailbox!

A special sealed card!

Even in the rain,

 downtown Seattle is just beautiful! 

We left Washington and drove to Astoria for the night.

It is a very beautiful port city.

We stayed at the Cannery Pier Hotel & Spa.

We had a gorgeous view of the Astoria-Megler Bridge 

outside our window.

That night our daughter, Katie and her boyfriend, Harry went to dinner in an old car that taxied us to a restaurant.

Fun dinner together!

The next day we drove around the city.

 It was a wonderful trip 

to the beautiful Northwest.

Next week I'll share with you

 an Easter project with these beads!
