went into the cupboard over the fridge and checked on my current avocado pit…

weeks ago I had put it into a plastic bag with a bit of water, set it up there, and forgot about it… now it was ready…

chose a nice mug container and dug out a used plastic pot that would fit inside it…

popped in some stones and soil… then planted the pit which had cracked in half and had a bunch of roots on the bottom…

looking forward to watching it grow…

everything was delicious and we all enjoyed it…

I did not put this almost completely eaten strawberry (which I found on the weekend) on the top of the deck…

and then, a few days ago I spotted one of the red squirrels racing across the deck and into the cedars, with a whole strawberry in his mouth, which he took from the hanging basket…

luckily, I have been able to get a few of the berries to eat, lol…

and they were delicious… now to figure out how to foil the squirrels from getting any more🤪…

Wednesday was another beautiful day…

put out all the cushions as a dear friend was coming over later in the day, and it always looks so much nicer when they are all set out…

Hilda the Gardener came and weeded and moved a few plants… we had a lovely visit while that was happening…

I climbed into the pond and cleaned the filter which made the waterfall happy;-)…

read a good book and had lunch on the back deck with some of my ripe tomatoes and fresh basil…

had a delightful supper and visit with a friend I haven’t seen for ages and toured the garden with her…

also shared some poppy and morning glory seeds…

had a morning walk around the garden the other day…

it is doing very well with lots of purple and green…

the side/vegetable garden is very happy… the peas and cucumbers in the new planter are especially happy… they are taller than me…

gathered fifteen pea pods from the vegetable garden and added the peas to my new potatoes and slice of ham for my dinner…

tasty…

great fun on this Victoria Day…

headed outside this morning and cleaned the glass table-top… I swept the decks, moved furniture around, found cushions and blankets and brought the plants out of the garage…

then I had a sit down by the pond;-)…

got coffee, pistachios, and almonds ready for my BS group… our first in-person gathering since the fall…

everyone arrived with various delicious treats and we had a wonderful visit…

we went from sunny… to cloudy… to windy… and back to sunny… a few times… birds flitted about and jackets came on and off as required, lol…

just after everyone had gone, and the space was back to normal, it started to spit…

perfect timing;-)…

today’s lunch was smoked salmon and cream cheese on mini bannock…

I get Bannock in a Box and then bake a couple of them at a time so that I have bread available when I want some… for whatever reason, I do not like fresh bread that has been frozen, unless it is for toast…
