On Valentine's Day, Leah had planned and made a delicious dinner, to which she kindly invited us.
We had pork chops with cranberry gravy, mashed potatoes, an onion casserole, salad, and fresh steamed broccoli!
Allison and Melissa decorated the kitchen and the table with lots of red candles. They were allowed to turn the lights off for the dessert course. It was some kind of incredibly chocolatey cheesecake. I need to ask Leah where she got the recipe. Those of you who have had Leah's cheesecakes know that they are always amazing, but this one....she surpassed herself!
Brett is not romantic in the typical meaning of the word. He can be very romantic, but not usually when it is expected or feels "required". So while he has randomly come home with flowers for me several times, I think this was the first time he gave me flowers on Valentine's Day. Not only did he give me flowers, but also a heart-shaped box of chocolates and a bottle of sparkling wine! I was surprised. And I love the fact that he gave me tulips, because that shows how well he knows me=)
I planted some of my seeds in grow boxes! An assortment of heirloom tomatoes (hopefully some fun colors like purple and yellow), Mr. Stripey tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, Black cherry tomatoes, banana peppers, basil, zinnias, marigolds, and blue sage. I am very excited about having a real garden this year!
Happy Nater!
I think you'll like knitting these booties in that new yarn- I did & it worked great though this pattern does tend towards a deeper style bootie. Praying for you these next 2 weeks!
