Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.

Where has the past two weeks gone? I’m blaming the heat and the day job on lost time. Although, the heat has been fantastic for the sunflowers. We’re down to the last three or four that haven’t bloomed yet. Even our experiment from bird seed opened up.

The rhubarb and lemon have really taken off.

We have more classical sunflowers and all yellow. I love that some are a little wonky. Just like people, sunflowers come in various shapes, sizes and colors. I love them all.

The few left to bloom should either be purple or dark chocolate cherry. It’s still too early to tell on this one below. Even in a container, this one is almost 7 feet tall.

While it was hot, we tried making a chocolate cake in the crock-pot. Slow Cooker Chocolate Cake from Easy Keto Desserts was a huge success. Perfect for that chocolate cake craving when it’s too hot to turn on the oven or maybe your oven is full with other goodies. It was a little challenging to get out in one piece, but that just allowed my keto ice cream to have maximum saturation.

I’ve also been enjoying the part one of Eurovision. There really are some catchy tunes in part one. I’ll admit to have some dance breaks when I need to get away from the screen.

How’s your week going?
