Lemon balm

I planted a lot of seeds this year, with the help of the kids.

We also used composted local fertilizer from a nearby farm, so we have a few new weeds to deal with.

Then we could throw in my overworked mind, which forgets many things these days.

So I was really unsure if this was friend or foe.

Earlier this year I found “PlantNet” on ‘Google play. I have really enjoyed this so far free app.

Sometimes it just gives suggestions, but if you add a quick Google search confirmation or redirection comes quick.

I guess I won’t pull that lemon balm out of my flower pots after all. I will wait for it to ‘steep’.

Beautiful Algonquin Park

I probably said it before, but I truly believe that God is a master artist

The variety of delightful eye candy in every direction.

Creatures of all shapes and sizes.

Loon calls. Bird songs.

Sand squishing, clouds drifting through the sky.

A day in the park, leaves me praising the master, in awe of His wonderful creations, and how He must love us to give us the delights of our eyes.

Sunshine, swimming pools, and dogs

Today’s great adventure…

Go Belly!

My daughter asked me a few weeks back to take her to a dock diving dog training workshop.

I love to spend time with my oldest girl whenever I can. Now that she lives away from home, every chance is special to me.

Today was that day. Not too hot, but got a little too much sun on my knees. Not raining, that was good.

Bellamy thought it was an awesome sport, fetch and swimming all rolled into one.

Picnic lunch.

Dogs, dogs, dogs.

Fresh air.

Happy kid.

Perfect day!

Sweet taste of pea pods, friends and enemies in the garden, taking my art outside

  • Lady bug friend fighting aphids!
  • Spider web trellis, fun!
  • We found enough pea pods, to sneak a taste!
  • Growing like crazy so much rain!

Spent the morning fighting weeds, and potato bugs. I don’t use duster or sprays in my garden, so picked them off one by one. Luckily our pet turtle will gobbles them up quick.

This afternoon was a bit more fun. My pole beans and peas are big enough to need support. I decided to make my trellis into art this year with the help of my son, our spider webs took shape.

As a reward today a taste, of a baby pea, and time with my son.

Tired, fulfilled, peace, and joy, this is living!

Long day but so worth it!

Thankful!!

All the variety of greens and the radish straight from the garden.

Today’s seasoning Thia Basil, and Mint.

Garnished with a tiny sprinkle of pink salt, and a healthy drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Can’t wait till I can add my own home grown tomatoes!
