what a delightful day…

I spent a good part of it in the garden, moving from one area to another…

at first it was because I was trying to stay partially in the sun… then out of the sunshine as it was very bright and a bit warm…

then, later it was to get into the sunshine to keep warm again, lol…

and I had some fun taking photos of various flowers…

what a lovely treat, particularly as the weather has been dull, overcast, and rainy for the last few days…

I am blessed…

spent a quiet day resting up from the busyness of the last few weeks…

the main thing I did was pick beans and a couple of cucumbers from the arches…

then I sat outside and topped, tailed, and cut them up…

there were a lot and I will have some tonight and enough for another meal in the next few days…

a lovely treat😊…

got up early and went outside for a look at the lovely sky and my flowers…

the previous evening I’d noticed that one of the buds on a morning glory plant was getting ready to open…

I’ve been waiting for these ones as they are quite stunning but seem to take an extra long time to open…

sure enough it had opened to a beautiful flower… happily I took a few photos before going back inside and back to bed…

when I next got up it had just stopped raining so I went out to check on the bloom…

of course it was a little worse for wear after the rainfall…

so happy I went out early 😊…

it was a beautiful day, so I decided to do my exercises beside the pond…

when I rolled out the mat, the top end went into the water, so I had to wait for the mat to dry, lol…

what a treat to listen to the water falling and watch the sky and trees overhead while I went through the steps…

my housemate took a video, after I was done, of a few of each of the exercises…

I’m so happy with how the plants are growing on the new arch…

the scarlet runner beans have been flowering for a while, but the actual beans have only just begun to appear…

the morning glories have now met up with the scarlet runners at the top of the arch…

it looks so nice from everywhere in the garden 😊…

in the final process of replacing the stairs to the side garden, we discovered we needed a jigsaw…

so, of course, we had to go shopping for a new toy, lol…

in the end we found a reciprocating saw which would work for the current project and a variety of future projects…

and I thought it was much cuter than a boring old jigsaw…

we have learned to always buy the same brand as our other battery operated tools😀…

and now, the deck, stairs and rail project is completed… yay…

I took this photo on Wednesday…

I can’t remember what these tiny tomatoes are called but they are very cute…

today I took one off the plant and bit into it…

it clearly isn’t ripe because I spit it out almost immediately after biting into it…

hope they taste better when they are fully ripe…

although I’m not sure how to tell that😂…

while I was away for a few days, the back deck got replaced…

it was interesting how nervous I felt, not being there to snoopervise, lol…

luckily, I received photos and was able to check some of the work with the garden camera🤪…

once that deck was finished, they moved on to the stairs and small deck which leads into the side garden…

when I got home, I checked both spots out and am very happy with the final product…

one single board needs to be screwed in on the stairs by the side deck…

I am feeling a bit melancholy as these are the last of the decks that my beloved built… all the rest have been redone…

even when I had the pond rebuilt, I had them leave that deck just as it was…

time moves on…
