A Day at Tubb’s Lake Resort | StarSunflower
http://starsunflower.com/jasper/a-day-of-fishing-and-boating-at-tubbs-lake-resort
A Day at Tubb’s Lake Resort. Jasper and I had so much fun at Tubb’s Lake yesterday! It was a bit chilly and rainy, but jasper managed to catch a few fish! To get a couple shots of the custom fire stations made from “reclaimed” washer bins and truck rims. The one that has a scavenged lawn mower base is such a hoot! They put the mower on the bottom so they could wheel the thing away when they cut the grass! By day, Susan is a freelance web developer for StarSunflower Studio, LLC. Raquo; It's Jasper!

20 Minus One Tortillas | StarSunflower
http://starsunflower.com/thenest/20-minus-one-tortillas
20 Minus One Tortillas. Nothing compares to the taste of home made tortillas. I can remember cooking fresh tortillas at my next door neighbor’s house as a young one. We would toss the tortillas right on the gas stove burner to heat them up, then spread butter on them when they were done. What a treat! It’s a smell that I haven’t forgotten. She inspired me to make them. Thanks Robin! Here’s a link to the original recipe: Mexican Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas. 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 cup boiling water.

Make a Reuseable Sandwich Wrap. I noticed this neat tutorial. Today while browsing delicious. What a clever idea! Now I’ve always been one to wrap sandwiches in waxed paper, similar to this. I’m looking forward to putting some of these together, maybe give a few away as gifts too. I can already think of a few friends that would enjoy them.

My Beads are Calling | StarSunflower
http://starsunflower.com/studioupdates/the-calling-of-the-beads
My Beads are Calling. So far I’ve got dunegrass. All set, and will be running down the list to see what other venues look like fun. The gallery circuit may have to wait. It’s time for me to have more fun in the sun in 2010. At some point, I’d like to expand my territory to beyond MI again. Sometimes I really miss the vagabond tour-head lifestyle, but do love the michigan scene as well. Floyd Fest. By day, Susan is a freelance web developer for StarSunflower Studio, LLC.

Where the Wild Things Are – Endangered Species | StarSunflower
http://starsunflower.com/thenest/where-the-wild-things-are-endangered-species
Where the Wild Things Are – Endangered Species. We didn’t get a chance to grow a garden this year, so we let some of the weeds grow. We now have 3 gorgeous acres to contend with, and will need to prepare our garden spots in order to be ready for 2010 planting. The summer is flying by SO fast! I do plan on setting up some pots with soil this week so I can start some herbs that will winter over in the house. We have a ton of nice house plants now, and they are thriving in our bay window! We took the plants...

What Flower is This? | StarSunflower
http://starsunflower.com/thenest/what-flower-is-this
What Flower is This? Things have been pretty busy around here, which is a good thing. Most of you who know me are aware that I have workaholic tendencies. I’ve vowed to take some time out each day to get outside, stop and smell the flowers! I just started doing this since the weather has warmed up. I haven’t had a chance to do it every single day, but am getting a bit better at it. My thoughts on this are “even 5-20 minutes make a difference”. Off for a quick walk! What flower is this?

Bladder Campion | StarSunflower
http://starsunflower.com/garden-journal/bladder-campion
In Spain, the young shoots and the leaves are used as food. The tender leaves may be eaten raw in salads. The older leaves are usually eaten boiled or fried, sauteed with garlic as well as in omelettes. Formerly in La Mancha region of Spain, where Silene vulgaris leaves are valued as a green vegetable, there were people known as “collejeros” who picked these plants and sold them. Leaves are small and narrow, so it takes many plants to obtain a sizeable amount. Source: Bladder Campion – Silene nivea.
