Friday Means….

8:47 am | August 11th 2006 | Albuquerque/New Mexico, Memelicious, Funky Scarf Swap

I bring you the view from my back door. These beautiful trumpet vines were only about 18″ tall one year ago. With the crazy rain this summer they now look like this. It makes me happy every time I walk out my back door. Click to see the bigger picture. And that huge plant in the flower bed? It’s a combination of three different tomato plants that have grown into one gigando plant. And if you think it looks like we live right on top of our neighbors I have to tell you that we are so lucky that none of our surrounding neighbors ever go outside. We love that. This is also where I do all of my dyeing.

One more day to sign up for the Funky Scarf Swap! We are now over 80 people and have some sponsors coming in with some pretty cool offers. It’s really going to be a cool swap.

And finally, Friday means…

As a present to you I will share my super-top-secret Cosmo recipe. Don’t tell anyone okay?

Scout’s Kick-Ass Cosmos

6 ounces Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice Cocktail (trust me and only use this kind!)

4 ounces vodka

1 ounce Rose’s Lime Juice

2 ounces Triple Sec

Pour all ingredients into a martini shaker filled with ice. Shake your booty and shake the shaker. Rim two martini glasses with some sort of sugar rimmer and pour into two glasses.

I promise you it will be the best cosmo you’ve ever had.

I wrote that recipe down right away. Your greenery looks great, the rain just gave us lots of weeds, but they’re green too.

Lovely patio and roses!

Hmm, I’m not sure I’ve ever had a Cosmo…

The trumpet vine in my backyard is staging a violent coup, I think it’s going to engulf the entire house soon…Your Cosmo recipe sounds awesome, I’ll have to try it. I’ve never had a Cosmo since I’m too chicken to order one in public
