made myself bacon and eggs for a treat this morning… used Campfire brand bacon which reminded me of our breakfast around the campfire just last Saturday…

then I headed out into the garden where I spent most of the day… the morning glories were lovely, although the large ones didn’t open today, lol…

  
dragged out the lawnmower and mowed… what an improvement… looked like an overgrown meadow before… this new Black and Decker model is battery powered and plugs in when done… had to scrape down the inside when I was done because it had been damp earlier…

put seed in the feeders… trimmed back some of the sad looking plants and pulled out others in overgrown areas… the birds were happy with new snacks…

  
took out a pail full of water hyacinth from the pond…

  
now I can see the fish again… and discovered five baby fish… 

maybe there have been two or three batches of them because there is one black one which is the biggest with two coloured ones about the same size and finally another teeny black one… the black ones are actually gold but appear black in the water…

spent time relaxing after the gardening… read my book, watched the birds and had a lovely nap to the sound of the waterfall…

  
also made chicken soup and walnut pesto…

  
wonderful summer day…
