Lately we have been putting a lot of time an effort into the garden. Both vegetables and flowers.
This was yesterday's harvest.
It looked and tasted yummy. One of my favourites.
The blueberries, asparagus, courgettes and strawberries need checking daily. The peas are only days away.
Colourful spots everywhere .
Yesterday Today and Tomorrow have seeded all around. They go with yellow and white and pink and are aptly nicknamed..
I'm thrilled with my new Attention Seeker rose.
Planted in front of it are a row of bedding dianthus.
The birdbath with clean water. It gets very warm and grows red algae if it's left ( and I want the birds to have a clean wash - tho some leave droppings in it ) The piece if metal is to allow bees to climb out if they topple in.
Other garden visitors are not all welcome. This fellow ate poison.
He looks very healthy ( altho dead. ) It has had a diet of avocados, compost bin scraps , citrus fruit and who knows what else. Luckily a neighbour sets lots of traps around the area or we would be over run because of our proximity to water and lots of vegetative cover.
I put poison bait down one of its many holes and tunnels under a cherry tree. Another got caught in a trap R set then it dragged it away under a bush. Several days later I found it by smell....I have a very good nose. I also got one baby rat.

Yesterday I spent the morning with my very dear friends in our little sewing group. We are so happy together and hand stitch and talk and eat and drink and laugh a lot. My therapy. We take turns at hosting. We do lunch out quite often if there are birthdays or some other reason. I really really value their friendship.
My hand sewing is slowly progressing.
