sprintcam

i just saw this amazing 1000 fps footage... amazing that cameras can do this now, but for those fx animators out there... wait for the jello....

snow day

this is our third snowfall and it's been going steady since last night. it's not supposed to snow and stick here, but the kids sure do have fun in it!

showing off again

my garden is bursting with flavour this year! first strawberries, and now raspberries! they're not supposed to be ripe for another few weeks i thought, but some were just too ready to resist. i got about 1/2 pint of those little gems and there's more still on the vines. now for the money shots:


i'll post about the cookies another time, needless to say they were enjoyed.

showing off

it's been way too hot to bake here- bad for my boredom, good for my strawberries! late last year i was given one strawberry plant and it spread and grew and spread some more...so from that one plant in only one year i picked about a pint of fresh super sweet strawberries from my own garden! woot!
here's a shot from ella's dress rehearsal. the ballet was called "sleepover spoiled". it's hard to see, but that's our girl getting her hair pulled and throwing the popcorn up in the air. it was too funny- during the show she made her startled face, giggled a bit, and went back to the face. like we didn't notice! cheekythis is my boy. kaliedascope and magnifying glass at the same time.

i'll get to more baking once it's cooled down a bit.

from the garden

this was one of the prettiest tulips in my garden this year
i bought a whole bunch (like 2 dozen) of queen of the night tulip bulbs, but only came up with about 10 :(
love the smell of lilacs! i am going to move this one closer to the bedroom window so the sweet scent drifts in on those warm spring nights.
okay so this last one isn't from the garden, but i wanted to share them anyway. just my regular sugar cookie recipe with plain ole royal icing and dragees.

here's just some random pics from our rainyish day at the dog beach...
