We have the California quail here in our yard and I hear them. This bird we have never heard before. I guess a different type of quail would make a different sound. My dad used to make bird sounds and copy them get them to answer. He did the bob white quail all the time. I almost thought i...

The yellow thing is a toy plate that belongs to the granddaughters.

This bird showed up this morning and has been hanging around. I saw it under the bird feeder and got this picture.

I had 1 cup of coffee and was already getting hot from going outside and taking care of the rabbit and picking beans. I switched to ice tea. I gave the rabbit a frozen gallon of water for the afternoon. It is 93 and feels like 102. I blanched some squash and green beans and I have a lot of...

I have been picking green beans twice a day.

I am eating one right now. A friend told me she takes them and cuts in chunks and puts ranch dressing on them and seasons. Sprinkles Parmesan cheese on top and cooks for about 10 minutes at 475. I have been having that for like a snack while doing other things in the kitchen.

It looks great! I am going to try it. I am not sure I can get away with telling DS it is apple pie because we do the grocery shopping together. LOL Thank you!

I picked squash and pulled a couple of chewed up cabbage and I put them in the compost bin. White butterflies followed me and went down into the barrel following the cabbage. I said there now, you have your own garden. I am going to pull a crooked neck squash tonight. It has been having...

Are they tiny slugs?

I had my coffee this morning and trying to relax. My leg is still not back to normal but it is in the 90s and right now pickleball does not sound fun. DD came over yesterday and after all these years has decided she needs some flowers, so I let her dig up some hollyhocks, bee balm, daisies and...

My freezer is full almost and I was sick last summer and winter, so I did not use up things like I usually would have done. I steamed some blackberries and I told DS that if we each drink 8 oz twice a day that I can take sacks of blackberries out of the freezer every 2 days or so. He does not...

Drinking coffee and DD just called and said she is coming over. I am trying to give her squash and zucchini, but she has her own. I am really thinking of sneaking it into her car. LOL I made soup yesterday with some tomatoes from the freezer. I put in a zucchini and a couple of small...

We will be 90 today. I am starting to see mosquitoes in the garden in the evening. I am not sure my body is going to hold up to playing pickleball as much as my friend is playing. I played some Tuesday and I beat her in one game, but one leg feels kind of strained, so I did not go today. Yes...

I barely had half a cup of coffee and out the door I went to play pickleball and I may be addicted to it now. LOL I am going again in the morning. I do not know if I got mosquito bites from the garden or this morning playing pickleball. The beans are going to take up all my spare time this...

Yes she does. LOL Thank you!

Starting to bring in more squash. I checked the freezer and I am going to start putting blackberries in the juicer and making juice for us to drink and make room for the pole beans that are now getting flowers. DD has already picked a few red cherry tomatoes. Mine are still green. The cabbage...

Glad you had help and lemonade.

I have been busy in the mornings. I have been selling a few things on Etsy and now eBay, so I hurry up and drink coffee and work on that and then go out and feed the rabbit. I only have one left. I think she was dumped off in about 2020, so she is still pretty young. I am not sure what i want...

Had 2 cups of coffee. The second one was to help keep warm. I have the heater on in the office, but the rest of the house is chilly. A little breezy. A little bit of sprinkles now and then.

Mine have been planted for a long time and we are down in the 40s. I just came in and it is almost noon and 54 degrees. I hope only gets to 45 tonight like they say.
