a few weeks ago I picked a beautiful ripe tomato from the tomato plant… when I turned it over it had blossom rot and I had to toss it..

last week I picked another one that had just started to turn the slightest shade of orange… it went onto a shelf in the kitchen and turned nicely red, and when it was turned over the bottom was perfect;-)… and it made a lovely open-faced sandwich…

today I took off the next tomato, this one is a bit smaller, but I am hopeful that it will ripen without the blossom rot;-)…

hoping that this will turn into another beauty…

recently spent most of the day in the garden watching the comings and goings at the bird feeder…

my goal this summer is to teach the chickadees to eat from my hand…

starting by putting food out close to my chair and sitting fairly close to the feeder so they get used to me being there…

had a few conversations with the squirrels who kept coming to eat, but I encouraged them to leave… later, I noticed two at the feeder… making up for lost time I guess…

saw juncos, song sparrows, nuthatches, and finches, but no chickadees, lol…

Wednesday was Canada Takeout day and I decided to support Pho Hoang, a local restaurant which always produces delicious food…

I used a different app than normal, which appears to make sure that all the money goes to the restaurant…

whenever I order I try to get enough for at least a couple of meals…

this time I got 3 different things… the pho soup is always enough for two meals…

I also got shrimp garden rolls which I had for my supper as they are best when eaten fresh… finally I ordered sweet potato and shrimp crepes… I had a couple with the rolls;-)…

my dinner was delicious…

since then I’ve had pho for two meals as well as enjoying the sweet potato and shrimp crepes for a breakfast…

Brandon, Day 2…

so far… we’ve been to the pool and done some office work…

we have been to a lot of volleyball… three games in fact… two for our boys and one of the girls’ games…

had some fun with my tripod and the new tiny holder for my iPhone…

eaten a lot of food… not quite as well rounded meals as usual…

and driven back and forth, and around the town quite a bit… I believe we passed Brandon University at least four times, lol…

but I did get two Christmas presents:-)…

although we ate out for each meal, we had supper in our room as we were worn out…

everyone is tired, but it was a good day…

recover…

have really taken the day to rest and recover from the cold I’ve been struggling with all week… 

these are some of the times when I most miss my beloved… he always did a great job of looking after me…

jammies on all day and the only thing I did was prepare meals…

for breakfast I really wanted to order something, but dragged myself down to the kitchen and took inspiration from the cute woman at the resort who made all the egg dishes… cooked up mushrooms, green onion and spinach and made an omelette with a little cheese in it as well… came out very nicely…

for lunch I chose the last bit of my zucchini basil chicken soup with chips and some Mexican chocolate… seemed like just the right combination, lol…

for supper made one of the ChefsPlate meals… still enjoying the process of preparing the meal… and it tasted great…

turkey and spinach meatballs…

as I was sitting in the living room waiting for the meatballs to finish cooking I could actually smell the hyacinth…

hurray, the cold is starting to let up…

tulips…

first thing this morning I took a few pictures of my purple tulips…

really amazing how flowers make me happy…

also have tulips at my desk at the office… we always buy them in support of the Lung Association Breathe fundraiser… 

tonight I made this delicious ChefsPlate Thai Sweet Potato Curry with coconut milk, swiss chard and whole wheat naan bread… it was delicious and also made me happy…

I was so excited to start eating it that the bowl was half empty when I remembered to take a picture…

can hardly wait to eat the leftovers;-)…
