Lime green and purple 😍 These little @la_fermiere_us cups make for the most perfect tiny plant pots. Made of terracotta with a color glaze in the most ravishing purple. I recently discovered that they have introduced some in pumpkin orange color too….yay! Just in time for Fall 🎃

This is probably the last full basket of tomatoes I harvested this season. The veggies are almost done. Just a last few stubborn ones still hanging on. Our little veggie patch has been beyond generous to us. We had enough to eat and share with our friends ❤️

These pictures are from our 2016 visit to the 9/11 Tribute museum in NYC and the One World Observatory. The museum is full of gut wrenching images that show the grief and devastation brought upon this day. It was impossible to walk through it with dry eyes.

I love the @la_fermiere_us yoghurt as much as I love the gorgeous terracotta cups they come in. I save them all to use for various things. My favorite though has to be using them as tiny planters. The purple with the green is just pure ❤️

These tiny clay flowers were some of the earliest little art projects I did when I started exploring clay. I enjoyed the 3D effect they gave to simple cards I made back then as gifts for family/friends. I used to enjoy making these and sharing :)

Summer harvest is on its last leg. My vegetable garden has truly been a gift that keeps on giving, especially where tomatoes are concerned! We can’t eat them fast enough. We will savor these through fall and maybe winter with the curry sauces, chutneys, and purées that I am making n freezing. Yumm 🍅

I have a lighthouse problem 😁 I might be obsessed with them! Every place we visit that’s along the coastline, I drag my family to see the lighthouses in the area. I think they have grown to enjoy it too, or so I would like to think. They do indulge me though ❤️

The breathtaking beauty of @acadianps Definitely the highlight of our trip. It’s the crown jewel of Maine coastline. The Park and the neighboring town of Bar Harbor are called conjoined twins because of their symbiotic relationship. No trip to Maine would be complete without visiting these two ❤️ My pictures of the park do not do justice to the natural beauty you will discover there. You have to see it for yourself.

A few days ago we got back from a two week trip towards New England. Our very first time driving up towards Maine & Vermont. Our first stop was Boston, then Bar Harbor MN, then Stowe VT, a small detour to visit Dartmouth in NH since my nephew just graduated from there last year, and finally one last stop at New Haven CT. We did sneak in a drive up to Mount Washington too in NH, and this picturesque stop in Portland which was prolly one of my favorites amongst all the other favorites ❤️

These pretty, blue, dollar stores frames were perfect for the tiny ceramic tile squares from India that I have had for a while. Just glue them on top of the glass (the frame does not open) and voila! You have instant, unique wall art :)

We watched Euro 2020 finals between Azzuri and Three Lions yesterday as we sipped on some spritzer & built a Buckingham palace Lego, we had to be fair to both sides 😉 Congratulations Italy!
The best part of this Sunday was that our family’s love for Lego is still alive n kicking! Yay!

You have to love a nation that celebrates its Independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.” – Erma Bombeck

Happy 4th all : ) Long live the USA

These gorgeous balloon flowers accidentally grew in the yard in our previous home. I guess, the seed flew in from somewhere and planted itself. When we moved, I brought the plant along in a pot. Planted it in the ground but my arch nemesis, our backyard bunnies, just love it way too much. They hardly let it flower before chomping off it’s leaves and buds. I divided the plant and moved it into another planter where it’s doing good. Also, planted some in the peach tree pot :) I am finally getting to enjoy them this year. Yay!

When we installed these large planters in our backyard, the idea was to have nasturtiums cascading down from the edge of the planters since they hold the emerald green arborvitae trees in the center. The nasturtiums have taken a life of their own! One of the plants is on steroids it seems, spreading in all possible directions. The variegated nasturtiums are yet to bloom but the foliage itself is just beautiful. I love how this part of the garden is looking 😍 My happy place for sure.

Well, it’s a wrap! School Year 2020-21 will go down as one that tested everyone’s patience but we powered through collectively! Literally, every country around the world struggled with similar challenges and persevered. We did it!
Hoping for a great summer for everyone and a happy, healthy, pandemic free, normal, start to the next school year!
School’s out folks! ✌️ Now go live it up (safely of course) 😁
(I had to work really hard for this pic and was called cringey by my teens 😂)

Did you know that irises also grow seed pods sometimes when the perfect cross pollination happens between two iris plants! I did not know that but am super excited to see some seed pods on my irises. Unlike the iris rhizomes which are essentially clones of the same plants these seeds could produce completely new flower types. I am looking forward to planting these and finding out what surprise blooms they might produce. Yay! Love garden surprises.
