Nice Weekend

Saturday I went to HB and with my friend N we went down PCH to Dana Point. First we stopped at Rockin' Baja Lobster in Newport Beach and had a nice lunch "bucket" carne asada, shjrimp, lobster tails and chicken, I also had a great Margarita. After a walk down the pier, we went to Laguna Beach and on to Dana Point. It was a beautiful warm day. The beaches were crowded and it was impossible to park , but it was an enjoyable ride.

Sunday M got a great breakfast, Denver omelette, bacon and biscuits and gravy. Then I went to Target and got herbs and flowers, which M planted in the afternoon. He made a nice herb garden area where the tomatoes were last year. We planted 2 kindas of lavender, oregano, sweet basil, cilantro, parsley, spearmint , Anaheim Pepper, leeks, and chile de arbol. I hope they'll do well.

For dinner, we went to the Thai Restaurant, we had pork satay, pineapple fried rice, northern Thai pork stew (spicy), and 2 desserts: fried bananas and mango with sweet sticky rice see picture) YUM.

All in all a very nice weekend! :)

Spring

Winter is over, Spring is here, although some of my readers may think it's still wintertime. But in Southern California, it is definitely here. Flowers are blooming, birds are singing, everything looks bright and green. Of course, living in this area we don't notice the change of seasons quite as much, but I am enjoying this Spring, and I am noticing all the new flowers and all the new leaves.
M has fixed an area for me to plant herbs, in the Fall I will try to plant some bulbs, although I never had any luck with bulbs...We also want to plant another citrus tree, maybe a mandarine or a lemon in the backyard(the lemon bush in front needs to be taken out, is not doing so well)
Saturday we went to San Diego, it was a cloudy day but the sun was shining around lunch time. It's always nice to see L & J and we had a nice visit. Of course I had to have some extraordinary dessert, yum!
Now we are looking forward to Spring Break in Utah, I hope the weather is nice, I remember last year on the day we left it was snowing quite heavily.
Here's a picture of one of my roses, I think is totally beautiful!!!!
Happy Spring to you all!

Crape Myrtle

Today M and I went to buy a tree for the front yard. After going to a couple of nurseries, we settled on an Arapaho Crape Myrtle. It has deep red flowers (I am into red ). It blooms in spring and summer and it follows the seasons. We have a Crape Myrtle bush in the backyard by the Jacuzzi, the flowers are pink.

After leaving the tree at home, we went to have lunch at El Torito, and of course I had to have a Margarita.

I took a looooooooooong nap in the afternoon, I think I needed the sleep :)

Happy Birthday Han!

...and that's all folks!
