A afternoon in pictures...

Today was a beautiful, sunny day in Seattle, it's the first one  in a long time.  Sunshine always lifts my spirits and makes me so much more productive.

After I got the kids off to school,
 I took Gracie for a nice hike through our favorite park.




I cleaned out my window boxes and prepped them for planting,



I planted some lettuce and herbs in my vintage baby bath,





I made a delicious salad, and ate every last bite thankyouverymuch, 
Beet, and feta salad with sunflower seeds & a splash of champaign vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper.


I gathered eggs and let the "girls" out in hopes of keeping the bug population under control, 

a little more gardening,


a few more random pictures,






I thought about taking one of these, 


after drinking one of these,



while sitting here,


but I didn't.

Hope you had a sunny day where ever you were.

  1. Wonderful snap shots as ever, Megan! :)
    It invites the reader to your lovely surrounding and sweet home....so nice to see.
    Thank you for sharing the afternoon with you!
    The salad looks so delicious and I used to love garden work very much, but unfortunately we just have a balcony at the moment. So my kind of *gardening* is limited....*sigh*
    Happy Easter time, Megan without egg decoration this year! ;)

  2. Gracie and the girls look like they enjoy very happy lives. The salad looks delish, and your photos are wonderful eye candy.
    It is still too cold here in Michigan to start gardening, can't wait 'till getting starters going inside. Only a couple more weeks. Your vintage baby bath is something else! Perfect for your lettuce and herbs.
    Take care,

Love the baby tub filled with all the 'babies', that yummy salad...and I wish my maiden hair fern looked as happy as yours, it's so lush! Maybe next time the glass & nap will be able to join the day!
