Nature Walks and Overnight Refrigerator Oatmeal

Last night, i shared with you one of our favorite things to do when spring rolls around….NATURE WALKS….gracie and i throw on our tennis and head out to explore…her favorite part, she gets total control over the camera….i love going for walks and could go every night but sometimes, it’s hard to get her motivated…by trial and error, i have found this a total slam dunk! it gets us moving, sparks her creativity, and we have so much fun looking thru all her shots when we get home

 

here is a collection of some her pictures from last night…

my goal in the next couple of weeks is to make a “scavenger hunt” walk and look for things to check off our list….example

~a bunny

~a blue house

~2 dogs in a backyard….etc

 

that should give this little darling some more inspiration to jaunt around the neighborhood 

 

 

i went to bed last night with visions of oatmeal dancing in my head….i go to bed hungry almost every night and dream about what i’m gonna make for breakfast the next morning…some people dream of husbands, some of children, some of wishes, some of vacations….

I

DREAM

OF

FOOD

well, i woke up this morning without one glimmer of an appetite….(happens every morning) most days, i can go until 2 o’clock without even having the slightest tinge of hunger…especially in the summer when i’m super busy painting all day

 

...it is nothing unusual to not even eat until dinner time…..I KNOW…I KNOW…that’s so bad….but it’s the truth

but this morning, my curiosity got the best of me…i HAD to see if this oatmeal actually turned out…because i had major doubts…what could seriously be that easy to make? Boy, was i wrong…it’s absolutely delish! and the possibilities for add-ins are endless

 

Ingredients 

  • 1/2 cup oats (not instant)
  • 1/2 cup of yogurt (i used vanilla)
  • 2/3 cup of milk
  • a sprinkle of ground flax
pour into a glass jar, mix together and cover…place in fridge overnight…..SERIOUSLY…..THAT EASY! in the morning, add in your favorite toppings …. it was fabulous! 

after a week of putting off doing taxes, i’ve made a rule….i can’t do taxes on a rainy day….and even tho yesterday was full of sunshine, the rule started today! i love making rules!

I detest doing taxes…..maybe less than politics….but more than spiders and maybe somewhere comparable to slow drivers
