More planting!

So I seem to have the planting bug lately, which means that I will risk being eaten alive by the swarm of mosquitoes in my backyard in order to sow some seeds. Today I gave a couple more shots to planting, both of which I'm not entirely sure will actually sprout. First of all they are both old seeds, one is from 2009 and the other from 2005. Second, my lovely 3 year old German Shepard, Schotzie, ran head first into the pot and scattered soil and seeds everywhere. Maybe with lots of love, sunshine, and water, and a little help from God, the seeds will be able to fulfill the promise that was made to them ages ago.


One pot is actually the top of a blank cd case! If you look closely enough you might even be able to see some Schotzie hair from when she knocked the pot over. That silly puppy! Also you can see that my Cosmos are sprouting up nicely, however the wildflowers are taking a little more time to come around. I'll just be patient with them for now.

Planting isn't the only thing that I've been up to today though. I also had time to whip up a quick batch of my favorite Mexican Dip. It's great for chips and even leftover chicken strips!



Here's the recipe:
1 can refried beans
1/2 container of sour cream
1 cup salsa
2 chopped green onions
1/2 chopped tomato
1 leaf chopped lettuce
1 package shredded cheese

This recipe is actually really simple and can be served hot or cold, but I prefer hot to melt the cheese. Pre-heat the oven to 350 and get a small casserole dish. Mix all the ingredients together and add the shredded cheese on top at the very end. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and dip is hot. Let it cool and enjoy!
