Geek Love
I thought these Valentine cards from Ironic Sans were hilarious. They have the great scientists with their personal valentine message. Newton, Darwin, and Sagan all give their love.

Valentine Dinner for Two
A few weeks ago, I came across this great recipe on Shelterrific’s Real Life Test Kitchen. It’s from the Jamie Oliver cookbook. This would make a great romantic dinner for two.

The grocery store had some of the ugliest bouquets. I am not sure if they were assembled…

It’s raining again! Luckily the new fence is up and is ready to take on this weekend’s storm. We do have a little bit of spring like flowers in the house. The Meyer Lemon Tree is sprouting new flowers. I mean the flowers are growing flowers. The whole tree is filled with multiple clusters of…
