Full of Grace

The experimental plot in my veggie garden.


It contains plants I’ve never tried before like fennel, broccoli and brussels sprouts and appears to be doing quite well. I gave already enjoyed a few spinach salads from it.


This handy contraption called a Frog Log.


So many chipmunks drown in our pool every year and it makes me cry. I have no idea why they jump in but this float is supposed to help them climb back out. Fingers crossed.


My oldest daughter is in Europe with college friends having the time of her life. Every picture and video she sends home is filled with such joy and exuberance that it makes my heart smile.


That our local library offered this:



I am so glad to live in a place where there can be a Drag Queen story hour for ages 0 - 10 and no one loses their mind over it.

This week my sister and niece will be visiting at the lake. We have had a long standing tradition of a women’s week/end which used to include my mom. She will be greatly missed but sweetly remembered.

  1. Things are looking good in your 'hood, 8! I love that escape pod in the pool. We used to make little wooden ramps out of the water troughs. In fact, my neighbor even puts little ramps in her birdbaths.
    Love, love, love your library!

    1. I have tried many homemade designs to let animals get themselves out of the pool but with little success. The Frog Log seems to be working as there have been no fatalities since installing it. So far so good.

  2. oh jeez that escape route for chipmunks says everything I'd ever want to know about you. (mwah!)

    sounds like a fabulous summer. your raised bed is thriving. I always enjoy watching brussels sprouts grow in their silly upward way.

    love

    1. Well, you should know that I never shed a tear when a mole died in the pool. It's a serious character flaw : )

  3. I had no idea chipmunks would drown in pools. I hope the escape thingy helps.

    Your garden looks good. What will you do with fennel? I had some n my raised bed that I don't think I planted. I tore it out because I don't really like that flavor.

  4. I really like fennel and orange salads. And I use the green tops in my regular salads.

  5. Love the garden. I've never had fennel. (Note to self, try fennel)
    Second note to self: IF you have a pool make sure critters can get out. Better, figure out a way to keep them from getting IN. Yowzah.

    Our local library has Drag Queen Story Hour too!! Love it. I'm so happy to read we are not alone. Yippee!!

    Glad you got to hang you with your sister and that you too share fond memories of mom. So sweet.
