That was my day. It flew right by without me noticing anything but what was right in front of me. Didn't take pictures of birds although I spent a little time watching a Goldfinch at the tube feeder. Didn't take pictures of squirrels dangling from the suet pellet feeder. I got up around 8 o'clock, had breakfast, read the paper, and got caught on Facebook scrolling away without thinking. Lala called and we talked and laughed for a while, then I took my shower, got dressed, and had lunch. I went to the grocery after lunch when it's not as busy as other times and spent more money than I thought I would. On my way home I stopped for a car wash because I realized that my car was in danger of turning into a salt lick.
This morning I did notice that another of the Christmas/Easter cactus blossoms was opening.Woohoo! and it looks like a third one might be thinking about it. I'm over the moon!
At the grocery I bought the ingredients for Greek Meatball Bowls. No, the bowls are not made of Greek meatballs, they are bowls with couscous, roasted vegetables, Greek meatballs, and tzatziki sauce in them. I found the recipe on The Pound Dropper's website a few weeks ago and have been chomping at the bit to make it. I planned to make it next weekend but couldn't wait so I made it this afternoon. It makes five servings so guess what I'll be eating the next four nights. I don't mind. I suspect that roasted zucchini would not fare well in the freezer. I envision it getting terminally watery and disgusting so I'll make the supreme sacrifice and eat it all this week.
Once I finished cooking and washed up almost all of the dishes, bowls, and pots (the couscous pan needed soaking since I evidently don't know how to make it without it sticking) I realized that I hadn't drawn anything today. So I pulled out my sketchbook and the 30 Days book and drew the next lesson which was these little stacked table things. They're fun to draw.
Today's toss was a bag of frozen noodles that I couldn't bring myself to cook. They're the same brand as the ones I put in the Chicken and Noodles I made for DD and the noodles were doughy and disgusting. Nope, not keeping them, never going to make them.
And that was my day. I didn't even make a gratitude list. And I didn't knit either.

Amazing how three little blossoms can bring so much joy to the day. But I'm smiling at the sight of them myself. And I don't even live up there in the frozen Northland! I'm like you. If I like something, I could eat it every night for a week. Your meatball bowl looks good.
