yesterday I picked purple and green beans, a few peas and a bunch of dried peas (looks like I missed a whole feed of them, sigh)…

I also spotted some small cucumbers which are not quite ready but should be in a few days… mostly they are growing on the other side of the fence, lol…

once the veggies were picked, I topped and tailed them before cutting up…

I was so excited that I cooked them for my lunch… at least now I don’t get sad when the purple ones turn green when cooked, lol…

they were delicious;-)…

“do”…

today I walked over to get my hair cut… had to wait a little while, but enjoyed some solitaire while I waited, lol…

it is always lovely to have a fresh do…

I also spotted a very nice bench along the way…

as I was nearing home, I got a shot of the field and some of the trees yet to get their leaves…

lots of green is showing after all the rain…

tried to make napkins shaped like trees;-)…

they would have been better with green fabric, but this was what I had to work with, lol…

the first one came out not too bad, but after that, each one was different;-)…

apparently I need to practice for a while with the video in front of me…

Wednesday morning we went to Custom Repair & Stitchery and ordered new cushions for the garden chairs… we looked through the fabric options and chose a green similar to what is currently in the garden… and there will be zippers so the covers can come off the foam to be washed…

I have been wanting them for ten years or so, ever since the last ones faded and lost their comfort level…

and so, since then, we have used two square cushions on each chair, which have been okay, but they have been getting a bit old as well…

I was also interested to see a newer version of Square than I’d seen before… I do love technology…

can’t wait for the new ones to arrive;-)…

I have always dressed for special days, such as red on Valentine’s Day, green on St. Patrick’s Day, etc…

today, I spent a number of minutes looking through the closet in search of something green… this is rather funny considering I am home alone all day, lol…

what I found was the blue and green rash guard shirt that I got in Hawaii… so that’s what I put on… this shirt doesn’t get much wear…

certainly not a bright green, but still green… and I’m sure the fish are pleased with my choice;-)…

I’ve been trying to be a little more caring of the planet…

while in Ottawa I was reminded of their recycling programs…

garbage is only put out every second week and cardboard and other recyclables are collected on the other… composting happens every week…

my daughter has been green for many years and she is an example for me to follow…

she has been composting and using cloth (not paper) towels for years… hers snap together and roll up like regular paper towels…

I am going to stop using paper towels… I’ve watched a few programs recommending ways to accomplish this… going to give it a try…

I’ve gathered some face clothes and dish towels that weren’t being used much… I have the clean ones on top of the microwave, ones I am still using on the counter, and a bin for the ones ready to be laundered…

already I can see that I am reusing them more even before putting them into the bin…

recently a few people have commented on the plants in the office…

my space is filled with orchids, violets and other greenery…

I always give credit to our plant whisperer who keeps the green things extra green…

I also mention how much I enjoy my orchids… sometimes they bloom a second and third time… it is so exciting when that happens…

lovely to spend my day in a garden;-)..

I love taking pictures of raindrops on things… once the rain is over, lol…

it is very funny because I don’t like rain… but I like what it does after it has fallen…

I was also realizing how green the lawn is as I walked up the street after all the rain we’ve received recently… reminded me of Courtenay, BC, where the grass was usually brown most of the summer but once the rainy season came, everything burst into amazing shades of green…

saw the most interesting seeds on the ground as I was walking home tonight…

I think they were seeds… looking up the street portions of the sidewalk were green and I couldn’t figure out why…

when I got to those spots the cement was covered in what looked like tiny green leaves… I’ve never seen this before…

clearly it had to do with a particular type of tree, not sure what kind… did a little research but no particular tree jumped out at me…

I did read something about a response to stress causing a huge drop of seeds;-(…
