yesterday, on an excursion with my adventure buddy, we picked up bagels from Fromagerie Bothwell…

we also visited St. Leon’s Gardens where we both filled our bags with delicious fresh produce…

I had also been gifted some salmon cream cheese by that same friend…

today, for lunch, I had a toasted everything bagel with salmon cream cheese, onion, and fresh radishes and cucumbers…

it was delicious…

had breakfast with my grandson at the “A” a few days ago…

it was a nice walk there and back…

we had the breakfast special, our usual…

on our way home we had a good look at a trailer that has been sitting near the end of the street…

it has been there for a long time… we are wondering if it has been ditched…

had fun documenting my daughter’s activities as she made various rubbings in the garden for a book she is making;-)…

she has been doing this all the way from Vancouver Island…

she wandered around the garden using sheets of paper and the side of different coloured crayons…

some of the rubbings worked beautifully, others, not so much… she also took a few items to add into the book…

but I am sure that the finished product will be beautiful;-)…

this memory came up in my feed on Thursday… it was from a year ago and clearly the tomatoes were ripe and nearly ready to eat…

this one is from the garden this Thursday…

obviously these ones are quite a ways behind, lol…

I have been so excited…

for a number of years, I’ve been overwintering dahlia corms, but haven’t had tons of luck… sometimes I know what they are and other times they are a surprise when they get put away…

one white one has proven very prolific and it has produced at least a dozen blooms so far this year in three different pots…

these are about the size of my palm…

a delightful feathery one that I purchased last year at Lilystone Gardens has come back nicely and has a number of blooms and buds in one pot…

each bloom is bigger than my hand…

these have all been white so I was particularly excited to see one come up in a pot that looked like it was pinky/purple…

it is a bit smaller than the white pompom-looking ones, but stands out in all its pink and purple hues…

nature is so amazing…

doing the happy dance…

Monday, the weather was perfect for being in the garden and my middle grandson came over and worked on the most current project… the soil in this garden bed kept sliding down and covering the stepping stones…

he removed some miscellaneous rocks, dug a trench and then, with my oldest grandson, moved and placed large rocks, which were located all around the garden…

it was interesting to watch as they decided together which rock worked and looked best where…

with my direction, of course…

the rock wall looks good…

so pleased that this project, which has been on my list for quite some time, is now completed…
