Sweaters and boots just sound so cozy and appealing. So I played around on <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/">Polyvore</a> a little while back and had fun putting together some outfit inspiration for one of my favorite seasons.<br />

I love Polaroid pictures and I am sad that Polaroid couldn't survive. Film is now being produced by The Impossible Project at the former Polaroid factory in the Netherlands, it is more expensive than it used to be, but they keeping working to improve the product and have made it so my Polaroid camera doesn't have to a bookend.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even with the current state of Polaroid, we can still use Polaroids as inspiration for other crafts. I would love to make a Polaroid quilt block like this one from Little Miss Shabby to make into a pillow.</div>

I'm embarking on another one of my 26 Before 27 goals. I'm attempting to grow some plants from seed. I'm growing some zinnias, sunflowers, and a wildflower mixture. I always attempt to grow wildflower seeds by spreading them in the yard but I'm not good enough at watering them. So, hopefully the little greenhouse will put them off to a good start before they have to face the real world. And I will get a surprise of what might come up.</div>

Last night Graham and I made ourselves a delicious Mexican feast, that would make a great Cinco de Mayo dinner. One of my 26 before 27 goals is to try making a new recipe each week, so this week we made steak taquitos. We kind of just made up the recipe, so I think that definitely qualifies for "try a new recipe". We use left over steak from a previous dinner, which made it even easier.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Steak Taquitos:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Filling:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Steak, cooked and seasoned with salt, pepper, & garlic salt</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shredded Mexican cheese</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Onion</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Diced green chiles</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Corn tortillas</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oil for frying</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mix the above ingredients together, amounts based on how much of each flavor you want present, and roll them up in a warm tortilla. Secure each taquito with a toothpick. Then fry in batches until they reach a nice golden brown color.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They are really pretty easy, definitely something that you can play around with to adjust for taste and ingredients. And they turned out totally delicious when served with sour cream, salsa, and homemade guacamole. It also doesn't hurt to serve them with fresh chips and a margarita.</div>

Today's photo: Coots and ducks at Laguna Lake. The rest of the day I kept singing, "Coots and ducks and geese better scurry, when I take you out in my surrey." It was driving Graham and myself insane, but at least I like musicals, unlike poor Graham.</div>

I'll have to take some pictures this weekend to share what I've been up to.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1587797029179858549.post-22031428080693940282012-01-18T15:52:00.000-08:002012-07-16T19:06:25.622-07:00Happy New Year!<div style="text-align: justify;">
Happy New Year! Is it too late to still say, "happy new year"? The last few months have just flown by. I don't even know what happened to them. But I'm back here and I'm making some goals for the new year. I will blog about them soon so that I will feel like someone might hold me accountable.</div>

Last weekend was the lighted boat parade in Morro Bay. It was hard to take pictures with so many people around. But here's one as the sun was setting behind the rock, before the parade started. Just a little decorated kayak.</div>

It's that time of the year when there are a million things to do. I've been busy working on some projects for Etsy. Hopefully soon I will have actual "things" to share and a shop to open.<br />

We decided we didn't want to deal with the mess of carving our pumpkins this year, so we painted them instead. I used some stencils on the white one, and Graham free-handed his raven and spooky letters. It was fun and only took about 20 minutes.<br />

As well as the one pumpkin that I grew this year (that survived the backyard re-do).<br />

This is one of the redwood trees that will make the basis of our woodland garden section of the yard. It is so exciting to be able to use our yard, over the weekend we had a fire in our fire pit and ate dinner on the patio.<br />

And the hummingbirds are very happy. This is the dominant one. He sits on this little birdhouse hanging on our porch and waits for the others to approach the feeders. Then he chases them off. Doesn't he know there are 3 feeders and he can't possibly drink that much?<br />

Yesterday, Graham and I went to Avila Valley Barn to pick out some pumpkins for Halloween. It was a wise move to go on a Monday and not on a weekend: less busy. We enjoyed ice cream, farm animals, and a hay bale maze that made Graham sneeze. But it was all fun, and now we have some pretty pumpkins to enjoy.<br />

Graham, my mom, and I went to Sebastian's in San Simeon for lunch yesterday and decided to make a stop at the beach on the way home. I was patient and crouched in the sand and seaweed in order to get some pictures of them. They are just so cute!<br />
