The last two years seemed really long- first there was graduate school, then there was pregnancy and then came the baby. The full time job was present throughout. Not all pure delight! But I have now graduated and I am thinking of making cupcakes and roasting a chicken and making some kaalan.
Our garden has totally overgrown. Perennials have overtaken the whole garden. Weeds are flourishing. We are slowly reclaiming it. It’s not like we can go out an garden with abandon. The baby needs to be placed somewhere. We put him in the patio with his toys but can’t be left alone. Don’t get me wrong..it’s not like we were great gardeners before the baby, but we could garden at will. Even without any care, there are spectacular flowers on show. Imagine if they were cared for!!
My first attempt at a cupcake from here. Thanks Archana for the help.
If you have organic rose in your garden, make some gulkhand.

mmm…gulkhand…haven’t thought about it in so long but reading this has brought back fond childhood memories of a deep red jammy jar and lots of sneaked spoonfuls….
Your garden is gorgeous!!!
