My First Lemon Tree

Saturday, April 5

In the morning, I went and picked up Summer from dog sitting at 9am. Sierra took over for her at the Michaels. We had Miss Whitney until around 4pm - dog sitting at our house.

When I got home, Eric and I went to Home Depot. Yes, he talked me into buying another tree! This is a patio lemon tree. So cute and it is even in a yellow pot! My favorite!

Our little baby fruit on our grapefruit and orange trees!

Eric fertilized the trees and put new mulch around them.

He also mowed and trimmed the lawn.

Tomatoes.

My herbs and more tomato plants on my front porch.

My lemon tree!

I worked hard and added dirt to all my raised beds that I had leftover in my garage. I planted more veggies I bought. I now have bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, green onions, lavender, basil, rosemary and oregano.

Nothing like a delicious, hearty dinner after a day of working outside. I love Saturdays like these.

Happy birthday to my husband, Eric! He turns 45 today. I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami. I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno. We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders. I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.

(I cut the chicken breasts in half to make thinner.). Season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and garlic salt until combined.
