Sunny Sunday

Ah Sundays! This summer I decided that I would spend summer Sundays doing only those things that I really wanted to do - no yard work (unless I wanted) no laundry (ok, with 3 teenage boys that's not a reality but I pretend). This Sunday was a gorgeous one and I started it out by making this:

It is a Loganberry Lemon Tart. Yesterday Neighbor brought me three little baskets of very yummy loganberries from the local fruit stand. After eating nearly a whole basket all by myself I decide that I needed to make something with the rest! While I did publish the link for the recipe I found that the cooking times were far too short (I baked mine 3 times longer than stated and it still needed to have cooked longer). Also it was a bit too sweet for my taste and the amount of lemon somewhat overpowered the Loganberries but all in all everyone seemed to enjoy it.


My animals are enjoying the summer weather as well, especially the cats who lounge around the front steps like they were living in a palace.

I also spent time together putting together a "how does my garden grow" mini scrapbook for a friend who moved to Florida last summer, who gifted me with many of her plants... one of which is the namesake for this blog. Add to my day several hours of sitting in the sun and reading, chatting with Friend Amy in Portland and sharing dinner al fresco courtesy of Neighbor it was a very nice Sunday.
