My five year old called us back on our way into the library - I’m so glad I took the time to listen to her, because she had found monarch caterpillars!
I appreciate that cats love routine. I don’t appreciate that my cat’s particular morning routine is to sit in my lap and scratch at my arms and face unless I pet him constantly with both hands.
I used to ride regularly as a teenager. It was great to take my daughter for her first lesson today! Also a blast from the past, as apparently “heels down, toes out, back straight, keep him on the rail” hasn’t changed over the past thirty years! 🐎
“And this our life, exempt from public haunt Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks Sermons in stones, and good in everything.”
A day and half is a short time at Yosemite, but it was still wonderful.
Garden update! Harvested the first banana pepper today. Have several tomatoes that are good sized, just waiting for them to ripen. And lots more peppers and cucumbers in progress! Carrots, radishes and zucchini planted from seed are finally starting to make an appearance.
Garden update 5-28-22. Cucumbers, strawberries, broccoli and garlic, and teeny baby carrot and bean (I hope!).
Garden update 5-28-22. Peppers - serrano, jalapeño, banana. Should have some peppers on there soon!
Garden update 5-28-22. Tomatoes growing lots of flowers, starting a couple new fruit. Leaves a little curly, due to missing watering yesterday. Haven’t totally figured out how to water them enough without flooding the seeds I planted in the same bed. Oops…
Tomatoes as of 5-21-22. Planted two weeks ago. A good many flowers on each; one tomato (which was there when we bought them). LOTS of flowers on the cherry tomato bush.
Garden update - planted tomato and pepper seedlings last week. Planted seeds for zucchini, green beans, carrots, and radishes today. Fingers crossed this is the year for a solid harvest!
