It's a more determined than happy Fourth this year, but I plan to enjoy the day. Handsome Son suddenly texted to say he's visiting later, quite a surprise.
Fortunately I'd made this yesterday
Plum and apple crumble, newly out of the toaster oven. And this
Mysterious parcel, a new batch of yogurt in progress.
So there's a little something for him.
Yesterday in the garden, it was time to collect the honesty and strip the pods
I tossed all the seeds around on the patio trusting that some will grow next year, and added this year's branch to the collection.
And, at the other end of its life, I found this while I was looking for the praying mantis
The garden always has something to be glad about, even in dark times.
Happy day everyone, happy Fourth if you celebrate, or happy Thursday, unless it's Friday where you are. If you follow me.
