ran out and picked up sushi for supper last night…

usually we go to our favourite place or order from different places as they don’t deliver…

it was delicious and still hot… happy we went and picked it up…

we also did a great job of ordering as there were just two little rolls left over… often we over-order and have too many leftovers…

and really, sushi is not as good the second day😋…

a lovely treat…

I’m so happy with how the plants are growing on the new arch…

the scarlet runner beans have been flowering for a while, but the actual beans have only just begun to appear…

the morning glories have now met up with the scarlet runners at the top of the arch…

it looks so nice from everywhere in the garden 😊…

I am in the process of using a Libra 3 for the next few weeks…

the purpose is to see how the food I eat over that time affects my blood sugar…

it is kind of fun😊…

I’ve been taking photos of everything that has been going into my mouth and noting it down in the app…

still figuring out about how long it takes to go into my body and then cause a reaction…

over the two weeks, it is anticipated that I will have eaten the majority of my basic food intake…

I took this photo on Wednesday…

I can’t remember what these tiny tomatoes are called but they are very cute…

today I took one off the plant and bit into it…

it clearly isn’t ripe because I spit it out almost immediately after biting into it…

hope they taste better when they are fully ripe…

although I’m not sure how to tell that😂…

I spent a delightful five days with friends at their family beach cottage…

delicious food, great company, naps, lots of conversation, and I was in the lake, at least once, up to my neck…

spent lots of time on the beach, early in the morning, on my own, and all together on a few days…

we walked a good portion of the beach a few times with our newly prepared walking sticks…

and walked the road to the pump, which had a snake handle…

there was also a real snake😳… which had me stomping and speaking loudly as I walked along where it had been seen…

weather was nice, lots of sunshine, a bit of wind and some rainy/overcast times… so, a bit of everything…

my particular expertise is washing the dishes…

other than that it was all about reading…

we did play ladder golf, a new game to me, (although I may have seen my grandsons play a version of it a number of years ago), which was fun…

what a treat 😊…

I am really pleased with the new arch we installed in the spring…

the scarlet runner beans have made it to the top on one side and the morning glories have made it on the other side…

so far I’ve had three cucumbers and two feeds of purple beans from it😊…

the one thing I did wrong was plant too many seeds on the one side, lol… I will use less next year…

we went to Pizzeria Gusto for a delicious lunch to celebrate a birthday… last time we were there was 2017😊… and we still liked some of the same things…

the sun came and went as we sat on the patio and we all enjoyed the delicious food… two particular favourites were the

and the

which, besides being delicious was so pretty;-)…

everything else was also very tasty 😋 …

always a great time together…

great excitement the other day when I checked the giant tomato plants in the side garden…

I’d read that beans provide nitrogen, which tomatoes like so I planted them between the 3 tomatoes… then I also read that coffee grounds are good for tomatoes, so I dumped the weekly coffee grounds in there as well…

I think the tomatoes loved all of that, because they have grown huge… but, not a single flower was seen…

and then, I discovered numerous flowers on each of the plants… and even two marble sized tomatoes…

very happy, although there are very few beans coming along, lol…

the new arch has already produced enough purple beans for a meal;-)…

this makes me very happy as the tomatoes and beans in the side garden are doing nothing 😔…

I topped and tailed them, and then cut them into bite-sized pieces…

as they boiled, of course the colour dissipated, and they turned into green beans…

but, they were delicious and I enjoyed every last one…
