Wow! Time flies – It is already July and I haven’t been blogging as much as I would like to. Here’s a little recap of my spring!

My garden bloomed with bleeding hearts and green ferns:

I made and ate this amazing steak sandwich:

I found this amazing aged goat cheese at Mandro’s Imported Foods ~and I highly recommend eating it if you get the chance!

My indoor peace lily bloomed with a double flower… which I can only take to mean that my life will be very peaceful for a while.

I went to Smorgasburg in DUMBO and ate some amazing foods! Post on this later to come.

Spent a bunch of time enjoying music with friends in downtown Lancaster:

I grew a potato plant from an organic potato and it started sprouting little potatoes. The students went crazy over this at school! They were amazed at how potatoes grow:

I celebrated Derby day/ Cinco De Mayo/ my friend’s birthday in style with hats and mint juleps:

I started grilling and ate a lot of salads that looked like this:

Backyard gatherings started taking place… rain or shine.

It became nice enough outside to bring Monk to the Fridge for outside snacks!

We started taking a lot of hikes again in Lancaster County Central Park. It was warm enough for monk to dive in the river and wet enough to see a lot of fungus:

My husband and Monk looking extra cute and picture perfect:

Fire season started! I love sitting around a fire outside on beautiful evenings enjoying time with friends!

I learned how to run the cotton candy machine for the dance at school! I got pretty good and swirling that blue floss around a stick… I am now available for hire for all of your cotton candy needs 🙂

We took a field trip to Hershey Park at school. I’m not sure who had more fun… the teachers or the students.

The strawberry festival took place at Lancaster Central Market – and those homegrown strawberries and Thom’s Bread shortcake tasted delicious!

I’ll tell you about June tomorrow – Happy Summer!
