White on white?

Now and again I just "have to" change something about my house. I would love to say that I had been successful all the other times I tried to renovate at all, but at the most, I have made some little changes just like painting my dining room a very bright asparagus color.
Right now I'm oscillating between painting living room, dining room and hallway in the light grays spectrum or going for an all white house. Here's a country version of white on white, I'm not that country, but I really like the rustic and cozy feeling of this house.

Spaghetti Night

So, for my first real meal after all these weeks loaded with liquid food, I decided that I needed to cook something very simple and fast (my energy has been very, very limited)
The only thing I could it think was of course: spaghetti. I mixed a can of tomato sauce, with sautéed onions and garlic...and voilà!

Notes from my Garden

After two weeks in bed, I was so happy to walk around my house and discover how just 14 days can change the face of my garden, it's hard to believe how many things can happen in such a short time.

Like my peach trees: I have 6 of them, the first year in our home, we were plagued by Japanese beetles and they destroyed every fruit on all the trees. Last year we didn't have a single peach, and this year we not only have peaches, we are plagued by them!

Suddenly we have so many peaches that we have a couple of branches that couldn't stand the weight, and they are not even ripe yet. Here is a branch that is almost touching the ground.

Peaches are not the only fruit trees we have, we also are owners of two apple trees, but we have never been witnesses of any apple production at all. This is our first year we have been able to see some of the fruits actually getting a little bigger than a plum (we have a plum tree too).

I'm so excited about the development in our trees, because they came with the house, and for two years we haven't been able to enjoy any of the fruits, just heard rumors from our neighbors about the greatness of the peaches, until now (we hope).

Macaron Heaven

I really want to learn how to make macarons, mostly because I dream they are going to look as heavenly as the macarons from Paulette in Beverly Hills. They have a big variety of flavors and each one has their own color and design, they are just lovely!!

Happy Birthday Baby Boy!

I know that probably "Baby Boy" is not the most emasculating nickname in the world, but you are the most amazing husband ever (statement especially true during this very difficult time after my surgery)
Thank you for all your patience, for sleeping beside my bed during my time at the hospital, for creating a menu so I can pick up things to eat without talking or for giving me my medicines every 4 hours without complaint.
Happy Birthday, te amo.
