Food and Plants

Last night we had our friends Jenny and Shae over for movie night. Between the four of us, we cooked up an amazing spread! Apple and gorgonzola spinach salad, devilled eggs, cayenne roasted almonds and cheddar, mexican dip, black bean dip, and fresh pico. We love food, we love wine, and we love to entertain! We were totally stoked to use all of the serveware that we got as wedding gifts. We watched Bridesmaids, and then took the party outside and talked and laughed well into the night.
We worked out in the yard for most of the afternoon. We are chipping away at the landscaping projects that we have going. A couple of weeks ago we bought this native Texas plant, and finally got it into the ground today. Kayla is a novice at wine bottle flower bed trimming, so she did the border, only using Topo Chico bottles this time. I like how the yellow and green accents from the Topo bottles look against our orange house. It feels cheery. We also fanned these pavers around it. Soon, we will fill that area with rocks or gravel or something else pretty. Coming along quite nicely, I think! We also got a bunch of these tiny adorable succulents to scatter about.
Enough back breaking work for one day. Now for some DIY channel and tea.
