With You Still

On the way up to the #mirrorball we asked the kids: How big do you think it is? Big as a basketball? Big as a truck?🚙 Much bigger. @mmsummerinto @dailyapple_to #torontoarts #toronto #thisishome #luminatofestival (at Hearn Generating Station)

I'm working on another version of "In Praise of Coral" with a turkey claw and #poppies from my garden and additional flowers from @coriandergirl 🌸🌸🌸 Can you name the other flowers here?😀 . . . windowlightonly #flashesofdelight #nothingisordinary #showmeyourflora #blooooms #dslooking #dspink #onthetable #liveauthentic #livefolk #thatsdarling #thehappynow #livethelittlethings #persuepretty #seekthesimplicity #gatheringslikethese #inmykitchen #theartofslowliving #thisishome #elevatetheeveryday (at Toronto, Ontario)

An armful of tarragon from the herb garden makes a lush fragrant bouquet. 🌿🌿🌿 . . . #windowlightonly #flashesofdelight #nothingisordinary #showmeyourflora #dsfloral #dslooking #onthetable #liveauthentic #livefolk #thatsdarling #thehappynow #livethelittlethings #persuepretty #seekthesimplicity #gatheringslikethese #inmykitchen #theartofslowliving #thisishome #elevatetheeveryday (at Toronto, Ontario)

Random summer flowers. This shows the impulsive gardener that I am. Planting is a mixture of plants on sale, gifted perennials, drifting seeds and sudden desires. ✂️🌸💙 . . . #windowlightonly #flashesofdelight #nothingisordinary #showmeyourflora #dsfloral #dslooking #dspink #onthetable #liveauthentic #livefolk #thatsdarling #thehappynow #livethelittlethings #persuepretty #seekthesimplicity #gatheringslikethese #inmykitchen #theartofslowliving #thisishome #elevatetheeveryday (at Toronto, Ontario)

I staked my tomatoes and thinned the beets today. I couldn't just toss those greens, so what to do with them? I gave some to my favorite recipe developer/cookbook writer/midwife/new mother: Jae Steele @domesticaffair and in return she gave me a tasty recipe. "For dinner I mixed a couple handfuls of beet greens with a cup of quinoa and some herb & garlic chèvre crumbled in and used that as the filling for some portabellos, which I'd marinated in balsamic, olive oil, maple syrup (just a touch) and tamari. Baked at 450 for 30 min or so. Yumma!" (at Toronto, Ontario)

Summer nights. After a swim at Sunnyside the kids and I got 🍦🍦🍦🍦 . . . #summer #roses #humbleweekendz #subjectlight #beautyyouseek #elevatetheeveryday #thisishome (at Lake Shore, Toronto)
