July 1st.

This year, I will be doing a post a day for the fun and happy things I do on my birthday week. My birthday is on July 5th. So by that day I should have 5 blog posts. 

Happy things done on Monday:  merrily made crescent rolls  [number 11]  (they looked so cheery in the oven! =] ), sipped tea and sampled a roll in my little house, (even though it was just with myself), participated in a game of mini bowling, felt the long awaited joy of seeing one's garden look so colorful, created a dinner meal for my dear family, and practiced my photography on a tea cup from a dear friend!

The First Flower of theYear!

Hurray! One of my flowers actually bloomed! I am going through a bad garden year. Two out of the five types of flowers that I am trying to grow this year, are not going to bloom till next year! I didn't read that part on the seed packet till it was too late! Then two out of the three (excluding the ones that didn't bloom) are not going to grow at all because the rabbits ate them! "sigh"  But, I still have one flower that is doing very well.  They are about to bloom any day now!! It is the forget-me-nots!!  They are so easy to forget!     

Here is the first flower!

And the forget-me-nots! 

Number 10:  Fig Newtons     The recipe: The Faux Martha

A Fresh New Day of Accomplishments

What a feeling it is to get a lot of things done in one day!! I love it! It makes me motivated to do more things!!

Number 7: Raspberry Pinwheel Cookies   Number 8: Jumbo Blueberry Muffins Number 9: Cinnamon Roll Pull apart Bread

 And I had some fun with the Cinnamon bread!

We have gotten so many cherries!! We had to put a net over our cherry tree because last year all of the birds ate them!!
