This is going to be an amazing Event!
For the weekend of the 28th & 29th, a Group of Community Volunteers, including Cowboy Trail Farm/Organic Edibles, are taking over a run down, depressed block on Main Street (right off of Charleston where the Attic used to be) and we're creating a pop up community full of art, music, food, wellness, and more. This EVENT is to bring the community together It's like nothing Vegas has ever seen.

Can You Hear Them?

Can you hear the happy bees?   They are busy buzzing on the flowers of our Majestic Beauty tree.  We have been listening to them  and enjoying their music for several weeks now . . the lavender, the roses, the euphorbia, lemon and lime blossoms have all been visited by these wonderful creatures.

Whole Kids Foundation 5K Run, 1K Walk - April 28, 2012

Bianca's At It Again

Come to my window . . . .

Bianca was in a trance . . . a pigeon on our neighbor's roof.  If you have a cat, you know they talk to birds.  It's like a cooing - trying to lure the birds closer.

Now that the weather is warmer, I'm sure we'll have more bird watching sessions. 

Butternut Squash Curry Pic

Butternut Squash Curry

Our friend, Tikva, invited us again for Indian food.  I made the Butternut Squash Curry from the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Catalog again - and this time I remembered to take a picture.  See earlier posts for the recipe.

So here is what it looks like.  This pic is was taken before I  added  the coconut milk to it and simmered it to thicken.  Still you get the idea.

And like before,  Tikva's cooking was devine and she kept the butternut squash curry leftovers.
