Then we sat on the back porch, enjoyed the flowers and plants, ....and the view... of hundreds of dollars worth of incredible, amazing (and most-likely illegal) fireworks that our neighbors for miles around were setting off ... beautiful.
No, seriously, I used today as an excuse to finally get my back patio cleaned up and all 20-something pots cleaned out and replanted with flowers and herbs... I know it's late,

The Sprouts were a huge help today! We worked hard transplanting, cleaning, scrubbing the cement, cleaning the furniture, splashing the hose....
Afterwards, by popular demand, my oldest Sprout made everyone's favorite: Taco Ring which I guess I've already posted somewhere back in the foggy past.
EDIT: Please note I finally linked to the Taco Ring recipe for those who are lazy like me and didn't want to dig for it .

We had some beautiful Rainier cherries from the Farmer's Market, to go with.
