one of the fun things about volunteering at The Leaf has been seeing how many little lizards we can spot on a shift…

one of our colleagues has eagle eyes and knows all the spaces where they might be… that has encouraged many others to search for them as we move through the biomes…

I had a great day recently and spotted six, all in the Tropical Biome 😊…

the last one is teeny tiny and I’ve spotted it a number of times…

and a colleague spotted a cute frog the other day🙂…

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😂…

overwintered…

the water lily that had overwintered in the house had been nearly completely eaten by the fish, likely the three koi…

I divided the lily into two and put them in little pots and sank them to the bottom of the pond…

one has been pulled out of its pot and eaten…

the second one has finally begun to send up teeny tiny leaves…

pretty sure there won’t be any flowers this year…

big girl pants, dad, dinner, meatballs, moments, spaghetti, special, tiny, widow

this afternoon I made some tiny meatballs…

felt like I was channeling my dad… he made the best meatballs ever… and the tiniest, lol…

haven’t made meatballs since forever… of course now that I’m not supposed to eat pasta I haven’t bothered even with meat sauce…

remembered the times we made spaghetti from scratch with my parents, Aunty Minnie and her mom, Mrs. Jenetta… tasted amazing and we had such fun…

to make the meatballs tiny, I used a melon baller that the wonderful Jacqui Eade had me purchase for a great dinner party that she cooked for my friends and I…

great to remember these special moments…
