It was a busy weekend which leads me to writing this two days after the official end of the weekend. It began on Saturday with weeding. I wish I could report that the area in question was successfully de-weeded but I must disappoint. Burrs+rocks+grass+Rocks+alfalfa+ROCKS=a very difficult area to defeat. It's halfway done, but it's windy/rainy again. It'll get done. Sometime.
I was able to plant some colourful flowers in the front of the house, and I had help! My parent's neighbor, Cassie (10) was bored so I entertained her through planting then baking. I bout a new cupcake book on Friday and as we were looking though it we found a recipe that sounded too good to not make right away: Frosted Peanut Butter Cupcakes. Oh man, so tasty.
Since we decided to make mini-cupcakes, we had to figure out how much to put into each paper. It turned out 1 tablespoon was the perfect amount! Then we frosted them...yum! It was a cream cheese frosting that came out perfect with just a tint of purple!
The perfect plate! It was to first time I'd piped frosting on like this. I think they turned out really well.
Today my task for the afternoon was to re-pot my poor seedlings. They really need to get into the ground, but first I have to finish pulling weeds/rocks/alfalfa out of the place I want to put in my beds. This will have to do for now. Oh and my lettuce and carrots have finally sprouted! So excited for fresh lettuce for salads!
