my new favorite spot is the corner seat on my balcony where I can see just about all there is to see, including my mini balcony garden.

I’m growing some basil, mint, cilantro along with some d e l i c i o u s lettuce and the cutest of strawberries.

of course at the rate I’m producing berries we’re going to have one a week, which doesn’t make for a very good shortcake season, now does it?

I’m hoping to make up for the lack of berries with some home grown tomatoes, which I use in my new favorite breakfast: softboiled eggs and tomatoes. (I had no idea this combo was so amazing) I’ve gotten into the habit of boiling 8-10 eggs (6min, 30 seconds) at the beginning of the week and keeping them peeled and in the fridge so I can just pull them out and have a fresh creamy soft boiled egg whenever I need one. (highly recommend)

 

served with salt and pepper and a twist trader joes every day seasoning blend: delightful. (I use that stuff on everything)

every night, even if I don’t sit out on the balcony, I try to get a photo of the sunset, and every night it does not disappoint.

I’m looking forward to an entire summer of every changing horizons and fresh produce from my balcony garden!
