Garden of delights

Our little veggie garden is growing - and fast! Just last week I ate the very first picking from it, two zucchini and a summer squash.
They were so unbelievably sweet!

We haven't picked anything else yet, but everything is pretty darn close...

Green bell peppers


Cucumber

Lovely big tomatoes (I'm very excited for these!)


Some of the squash have spread so far that they are growing outside the confines of the garden fence, and still not a nibble from the nearby family of bunnies.

The black raspberries (which I previously thought were blackberries) continue to ripen by the bowl full. We've already made several crumbles and there are gobs more to be had.

Only one pumpkin seems to be growing, but isn't it growing wonderfully?

The cilantro (and other herbs) are growing like mad and even flowering. The little blossoms are so pretty, I don't have t he heart to chop them.




And the green beans are finally coming along too!

JalapeƱos right behind
and even the potatoes are getting big

It is so delightfully satisfying to watch this all unfold in my little yard. I must admit, I am quite proud of myself.

Blind Ambition

Here is the first video up on my blog - yay! It seemed only appropriate that it be a video of Steve, my blind cat.

Los Angeles Part 2: Kim By The Sea

While in the Los Angeles area I also got to spend a couple days with one of my dearest friends in the whole, wide world - Kim!


We explored the botanical gardens in Balboa Park





(can you see the hummingbird?)
We also explored the the margaritas, thoroughly.

Then we spent the evening on her rooftop deck, laughing the sun down.


I love you Kim. Thank you for a wonderful time....now get out to the East Coast already!
