Seeking peace and perspective...in the Humble Bungalow Garden.

The late night news coverage of the violence in Nice, France was hard to watch.

is unsettling...
difficult to process....

I was worried for the safety of our friends who live in the South of France
so I sent off a couple of emails before retiring to bed.


When I woke up I went to the computer and read the emails from our friends confirming they are safe...

Sunshine shining through the freshly cleaned windows was a welcome gift.
The birds were chirping and the garden beckoned...


Coreopsis

I took my coffee outside and wandered in The Humble Bungalow Garden...
I am going to take you along too.


Limelight Hydrangea


Fisherman's Wand




Limelight Hydrangea blooms are quite large.


Calla Lily

The flowers and birdsong are calming...
I understand that
world events are beyond my control.
All I can do is control my own reactions to these events.

This lovely Hollyhock is blooming in a garden nearby...
The delicate crepe papery petals reminds me of our Romneya Coulteri.

I find solace when I am immersed in domestic routines 
like polishing silver,  
weeding the garden 
or 
cooking in the kitchen.

 ~ Stuffed Peppers ~

Two recipes popped up at the top of my google search for stuffed peppers
I added some other ingredients that I had on hand.


Halve the peppers and remove the seeds.
Cooked rice
add
sun dried tomatoes, corn, olives, basil, onions, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic 
Mix to blend in a bowl.


Stuff the peppers
top with tomato sauce and grated cheese.


Chill until time to bake.
Cover loosely with foil
Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes.
Enjoy

He uses the wicker chair behind him as his scratching post.
He is a naughty boy, but is so cute that he gets away with it!
