How To: Have a Delicious Saturday
May I share?
Here’s how to have a delicious Saturday:
2. Throw on some cozy sweats, a little mascara, a touch of lip-gloss and set off for the local nursery. No, not the garden center at Wal-Mart. I’m talking about the place down the street with all the charm and real gardeners who can tell you about your soil and which flowers bring butterflies.
3. Come home with pallets of bloomin’ green goodies.
(cucumbers)
(tomatoes)
(strawberries)peppers, carrots, squash, basil, cilantro not pictured.
broccoli, peas, spinach, lettuce planted previously with pictures forthcoming. And don’t forget the flowers!
(snapdragons)
(impatiens)daisies, columbine, four o-clocks, foxgloves, poppies, sunflowers, delphinium, popsicles not pictured.
6. After a bit of mozying and puttering around the house, go to the grocer … in flip-flops, capris, and T-shirt, letting your wild, wet mane air-dry with whatever curl or wave it pleases.
Wander the produce, tossing every fresh, colorful piece that sings to you into your cart.
For this example’s sake … choose fresh, raw shrimp.
10. Saute your shelled shrimp in garlic-infused olive oil
(this doesn’t take long … maybe 2 minutes on each side).
13. Take your meal to the patio and eat
in the midst of your newly-planted garden
and the setting sun.
And that, my friends, is how to have a delicious Saturday.

The picture you just painted is a beautiful one. Our planting involves fussing at kids making sure the little boy doesn’t run out into the road or not putting dirt down his sister’s dress. Or me not being able to walk after spending that much time on my knees thanks to the kid still inside that has totally thrown off my balance…next time I’ll just take some deep breaths and imagine the beauty of your Saturday. :)
Sounds sssoo yummy…..all of it :) ok especially the shrimp alfredo….my FAVORITE!
I’m so inspired! I love growing a garden it’s by far my most favorite thing to do in the summer!
