big girl pants, discovery, dragonfly, eggplant, garden, iris, purple, rain water, widow

early this morning I discovered a dragonfly in the kitchen… found a container, slid it in and popped it outside… kind of fun to find it and be able to deal with it…

took a walk around the garden and found a few lovely things…


purple flowers on the eggplant… looking forward to some fruit… also love the cute pansies in the background…

and I spotted some blooms on the little iris…


they are likely going to be purple too, lol…

watered all the pots and planters with rain water which also helped with my step count…

sure do appreciate having a few minutes to enjoy the garden first thing in the day… 

had a bit of a giggle as I drove through pouring rain on my way home… guess I didn’t need to do that early morning watering…

tasty…

basement, big girl pants, camping, eggplant, flowers, garden, sunshine, tasty

got home before noon after our last night of camping in the basement of my daughter’s new house… no furniture in the place other than our camping chairs and air mattresses… but it was warm, had toilets and running water… pretty darn nice…

when we got up this morning, the rain was going sideways as the wind was blowing like crazy… happy to be inside, lol… the guys ran out to check for basement flooding at one of the houses… they brought home egg mcmuffins for our breakfast… a tasty treat after the last few days of cooking on a campfire and doing endless dishes in a bucket, lol…

I brought in my gear and took a quick look around the garden as it had stopped raining during the drive…

  
this is a picture of the eggplant… when I left on Friday there were three hanging on the plant… apparently something or someone decided they needed them more than I did… hope they enjoyed them…

also picked some tomatoes while I was out there, finally ripening…a few of the Romas had blossom rot so I took the rest off…

  
had a few of them with my supper… tasted good…

it’s been overcast and windy for most of the day, but late this afternoon the sun came streaming through the window into the living room… had to get a photo…

big girl pants, eggplant, garden, mandevilla, rain, rainbow, storm

am dripping wet right now…

  
hard to see but there is a rainbow in this picture… this is what it looked like after I ran out in the pouring rain and put away all the cushions… first time they have been soaked, sigh… should have put them away before supper…

the day had been perfect up till the storm…

  
fish were out and about…

  
watered all the planters and baskets and they are doing well…

  
found a small tomato…

  
couple of green peppers…

  
and an eggplant… woo hoo…

  
mandevilla is ready to open…

  
and the million bells basket is beautiful…

the rain has ended but the thunder is still rolling…
