excited this morning to spot the strawberry that was ripe enough to eat… and pleased that the birds and/or squirrels hadn’t beaten me to it…

I did paint those rocks red and put them around the plant to discourage thieves, lol… maybe they worked…

the strawberry was delicious;-)…

this plant was purchased two years ago and lives in a pot over the summer…in the fall it is transplanted back into the bathtub garden to overwinter;-)…

we spent a bit of time in the fall attempting to make the shed squirrel and bunny proof…

unfortunately that meant the squirrel or squirrels moved into the garage for the winter…

and, apparently, they really liked the fabrics on the hanging chair, sigh…

I guess I’m going to be looking for a new chair, and will make sure it goes into the basement for the winter;-(…

what a delightful way to begin the day…

looked out the front window just after 7 am and spotted this goose…

watched if for quite a while before heading back to bed, lol…

then, just after nine, as I was making breakfast, I walked out to the living room and spotted five mallards across the street…

they all came over, but only two of them stopped for a snack under the bird feeders;-)… I was happy when I caught this one as it was leaving…

I had a nap in the afternoon and went to bed a little early Saturday night so I could get up to watch the F1 race from Las Vegas… usually the races are much earlier in the day, but this was a night race…

set my alarm for midnight and got up without a problem…

found a snack and drink and curled up in bed to watch the race…

stayed awake the entire time and enjoyed the action…

then I may have slept in a bit, lol…

Sunday morning we made sure to be up in good time to get to the Village Green Bakery at Victoria Beach…

they have the most delicious bread and yummy cookies…

you don’t want to be late or the good stuff might all be gone;-)…

we picked up a loaf of bread, a smile cookie, a coconut and oatmeal cookie, a double chocolate cookie, and two sausage rolls…

we sat in a lovely park and had a snack of some of the goodies and then checked out their beach…

home for a sandwich and then some reading and napping… couldn’t wait to take a picture of the whole loaf, lol…

had a tasty snack on our way to Shelmerdine… haven’t had fresh McDonald’s French fries in I don’t know how long… had a couple of nuggets to go with them, but it was the fries that made my day;-)…

had fun wandering amongst the plants… it was surprising how many varieties of succulents were available…

here’s a photo my friend sent of the two that she picked up and transplanted;-)…

got a few photos of some of their bonsais to share with my grandson…

lovely to spend a bit of time enjoying the greenhouse and I even left without purchasing anything…

when I was searching the internet for a link to their website, I came across this great information on plant care;-)…

fries and gardens… doesn’t get much better than that…

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🤪…

quite a while ago I started grape tomatoes from a few wrinkled sad looking ones from the grocery store that hadn’t gotten eaten…

they were slow to grow, but I was hopeful…

I also started a couple of seeds from a full sized tomato I had…

unfortunately, I didn’t pay attention to which was which, lol…

I planted them in my new garden planter boxes and they have slowly been getting bigger… some have had blossoms…

recently, I saw the first little tomato starting…

looking forward to a lovely snack…

along with every other theatre, PTE had to cancel their current and upcoming performances…

we got an email advising that they were going to send us the archive copy of the performance for us to watch… what a kind gesture on their part… it was only available until the last date of the performance…

on Saturday, at 3 pm (the time we would have gone to see the show), my friend and I connected by phone and watched the show together… it was a bit of a giggle because the two computers were just off a touch, so it did sound a bit strange;-)…

I had my snacks ready – two of the shortbread cookies my friend had made for me – and a couple of pieces of Lindt 70% dark chocolate… we often bring a snack to the theatre, lol…

we had a fun time and a good conversation once it was over…

new ways of being together, but staying separate…
