day started with breakfast in the garden…

there were lots of birds… chickadees, goldfinches, sparrows, a woodpecker…

   
 
and I was very excited to discover a caterpillar on one of the parsley plants…

  
was enjoying the activity around me when all of a sudden I burst into tears… never know when the grief will hit you… must have sobbed for fifteen minutes before the sadness passed… miss my beloved so much…

did some gardening… one of the jobs was to take out many of the water hyacinth in the pond… couldn’t even tell if there were fish because it was completely covered over…

and discovered two baby fish… great news and they are both very pretty… moved too fast to get a good picture, lol…

got some nice shots of flowers…  

 
these are tiny ones in the pond…
  
morning glory ready to unfurl tomorrow… can’t believe it but the big morning glory didn’t open this morning…

  
love the shape of the mandevilla buds…

out in the garden for a good portion of the day, other than a nap and when it rained a bit…
