Hello, I'm sure you remember my funny looking garden with the fire hydrant in the middle...
This year we will be moving at the end of August, so I decided not to do a vegetable garden. Many tears were shed at the arrival of this decision...well, not really, but I kind of felt like crying.
Instead, I will be planting wild flowers. I spent the last few days weeding the garden and preparing the soil. Yesterday I sprinkled the wild flower seeds all over the garden and that was kind of fun. I really hope they grow! You have to water them for the first bit until they get established, and then they don't require very much work at all.
I'm hoping that will add some color and beauty to this ugly place. The flowers are supposed to keep coming back every year, so if the next person doesn't want to work in the garden it should still look nice without having to do much or any work.
I'll post more pictures if my flowers grow!

Sisters Cafe--Easy Chocolate Cookies!
Yet another fabulous recipe I found on the Sister's Cafe Blog~ (Here's the link to their post.)
It's super easy and really quick! I didn't have Devil's Food Cake so I used a Triple Chocolate Cake mix instead. (It has tiny chocolate chips in the mix...I think that's better than just plain chocolate.)
Fudge Crinkles
1 box Devils Food cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup canola oil
powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together first 3 ingredients. Dust hands with powdered sugar then roll dough into 1 inch balls. Roll in powdered sugar and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes. Don't overbake! They should puff up during baking and flatten with cooling.
