This week has been busy and I have gotten a lot done on an art quilt, but I am not ready to show it publicly so for this week's Off the Wall I am posting photographs of the weeds, er, um wildflowers from my "nature-scaped" backyard.

My herb garden is doing ok, still needs some weeding and trimming. I love my chives!
I cut all the blossoms to make chive blossom vinegar. Even after only a couple of hours the color is leaching from the flowers! I made some last year, it is great for making vinaigrette. Has a nice oniony taste and a lovely color. Have a wonderful weekend!
Woohoo! Congratulations! All my weeds are wildflowers too! I've never made a flavored vinegar. That looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteThat'll be an interesting book!
ReplyDeleteCan you show the best!secant you show the Beatles quilt? I'd love to see it. I am of a certain age that the Beatles were a huge part of my life - first kiss, first love, first sex - all involved Beatles songs in some way.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for a book and challenge. What would I do, hmmm let me see - blackbird is my favorite song but I really do have some fond memories of "why don't we do it in the road" I think I would do that one. What did you make?
oh, I have just wanted to be outside this week, with slightly cooler weather and the porch cleaned off and flowers. I never heard of chive vinegar. So pretty. Congrats on the book! LeeAnna Paylor lapaylor.blogspot.com
