One of the best parts of living around here is the random things you can buy on the street corners. I’ve gotten mangoes, oranges, flowers and more. Does this count as shopping local? It should.
Today Ben and I scored a bunch of amazing cherries. They are super sweet and delicious!
I break for cherries 🙂
I have been loving cooked broccoli. It’s random because summer usually means salad, but all I want is cooked “broc”. I mixed it with a veggie burger, ketchup, hummus and toast. Just what I wanted.
My brother’s girlfriend, Heather, trimmed our rose bushes today and cut some flowers to have on the table. I take my blog pictures on the counter for better lighting so I brought them over to share in the limelight.
In addition to the massive amounts of cherries and grapes I snacked on I had an open faced PB&J. Not exactly crap free but, I feel better all ready!
BLTs –
Bites Ben’s sandwich
handful nuts
handful Kashi cereal
big bites of happiness and sunshine 🙂
Tomorrow I start a new gig – I don’t want to say much about it yet, but I’ll fill you in when I can.

Hi. Your first picture is making me laugh so hard because of the trash can behind you that says “cans” while you are holding two containers of cherries. Sorry for the mind in the gutter comment. :/

I love Cherries, they make me think of Summer. I want summer back.
You are doing well, I spy no crap today. yeah!
The post makes me want a DSLR camera & many many lenses!
The roses look awesome

I never tried cherries, but I suppose they taste like heaven!
Wish you a lovely week, love!

You’re so lucky you got cherries! My grocery store was out of them this weekend. Sooooo sad.
Kelly says
New jobs are so exciting! I’m hoping for some new excitement in my life soon. Good luck on your first day!

Cherries are so great right now, especially in Michigan!
Karla says
I miss California’s cheap fruit! Cherries are so expensive here! Yesterday I went to the grocery store and they were over $3/lb!
I’ve been loving cooked broccoli too! I steam it then put it in the freezer to chill for a few minutes then squirt it with lime and salt. Delish!
Lauren says
Cherries are natures candy! Especially this time of year.
Congrats on the new gig! Can’t wait to hear more about it.

I eat open faced sandwiches a lot or make half a sandwich instead of a whole one, but I’ve never though of eating an open pb&j! Such a novel idea!
