been wondering if the evening sounds I’ve been hearing are crickets or frogs…

pretty much came to the conclusion that they were crickets as I haven’t seen any signs of a frog around the pond…

and then…

Wednesday morning, look who popped up on the bridge;-)…

the sound might still be the crickets, but what a treat to spot this little leopard frog;-)…

and in the last few days it has been all over;-)…

I am so happy that the hibiscus has a flower on it… this is the first one since the tree came outside…

it is so pretty and I am hopeful that there will be more in the near future…

these pictures were taken about two hours apart on Friday…

enjoyed some delicious fish and chips Thursday…

a dear friend, who I have not seen for ages, came for dinner and brought the treat…

it is our pattern to always have fish and chips as it is one of our favourites, lol…

we had a wonderful visit and I also had leftovers for my lunch the next day;-)…

such a special time…

it was chilly on Saturday morning so I had on a vest and put my Assiniboine Park Conservancy blanket over my legs…

it is mid July;-(…

a few times later in the day, I had to put away all the cushions because it rained for short periods of time, lol…

and I kept that vest on all day…

on Thursday we made waffles…

we had to get milk, raspberries, and whipping cream… although, not being clear, I was presented with a can of already whipped cream, lol… we chose raspberries instead of strawberries, as they are both of our favourites…

the recipe calls for separating the eggs, beating them, and folding the whites in at the end…

the most complicated piece was figuring out which bowls to use…

they came out great and we even froze a few to try reheating in the toaster…

next up will be grilled cheese;-)…

my friend picked me up Tuesday and we went to Wolseley Farmers Market… first time this season…

so happy… fresh veggies…

also picked up a new mango tea to try…

cooked the potatoes and put them in the fridge to cool… popped country style spareribs into the oven and then boiled green and yellow beans, with snap peas… mixed in the potatoes and added butter… yum…

the first veggies of the season always taste so delicious 🤤…

as I was sitting in the hot tub on Saturday night and watching the few stars that I am able to see from there, I was reminded of a Saturday night we spent at the lake…

we went out, with blankets and warm clothes, and laid on the couch on the cliff deck and watched the stars through the tree canopy…

it was a beautiful night with few bugs and the sky was spectacular…

we saw satellites, constellations, and shooting stars… even some fireflies;-)…

and I even got a few photos with my iPhone…

pleased to get back to my usual schedule…

my daughter had been staying with friends and my grandson was working so I’ve had the house all to myself…

finally got everything put away from the trip and was able to set up the new chair cushions and the cute little rug I picked up…

I am loving how the garden is looking and have been spending as much time as possible in this, my favourite space…

had another lovely visit to The Leaf…

visited the cacao trees and took a few photos for my daughter, lol…

had a good time watching the koi and even got a few reasonable shots;-)…

met my buddies for lunch at Gather Craft Kitchen & Bar and it was tasty, as always… our server, Camille, had served us on Friday when we were there last and remembered me;-)… she did a great job to ensure our meal and time there went well…

after lunch I spent a bit more time with the fish;-)… and then sat and wrote this blog as the water fell in front of me;-)…

great way to spend time;-)…
