Bowling Anyone?

While riding around Clearwater Florida, we came across this amazing house known as the Bowling Bowl house to locals. The mosaics were amazing as well. Imagine instaed of having shingles you have an entire facade in mosaics.
There were also flower pots made from empty wine bottles - I'd say they are definitely into recycling and drinking wine. I heard that Sunset magazine did a special on this house a few years back. If you are missing any bowling pins, you might want to check in with the owners of this house. The house reminded me so much of Berkeley, I'm thinking perhaps they are transplants!

Sunday Stitch & B*tch, plus the Best Part....Eating

Thanks to my knitting buddies in motivating me back to one of the things I love to do best! Knitting and...... a great new recipe to try out. I found the recipe in my daughter's magazine which is called Sauveur. The picture on the cover looked so delicious, I wanted to give it a try. It is an Italian style foccacia, made with olives and cherry tomatoes. I changed the recipe a little and added cheese to the topping, all cooked in a black skillet pan..yummers! I also made one more foccacia, this one with mushrooms, roasted red peppers, olives and cherry tomatoes (the last pickings from this years garden harvest). I cheated and bought pizza dough from Trader Joe's, saved time and it very economical!! We all loved the meal, but it was too bad little Annika couldn't partake....yet.
Bonne appetite!

Where I'm @

Ok, so it's been a while, I've been on hiatus...but lately, some days this is how I've been feeling.

Royal Crest Community Garden

While I was visiting Warwick Rhode Island this past July, I had the opportunity to take long walks at my friends home on Cedar Pond. The residents there have the option to have a small plot on the property's community garden. While on my daily walks a nice surprise was when I spotted a rather friendly frog and a bunny having a meal. Larry told me that after I left he saw a fox and a large deer while he took his evening walks. That beats the two wild turkeys I woke up to one day just outside his patio door!
