This and That

 

 

Hello Friends, a little of this and that to share with you today. 

We will start with flowers.

I harvested our first batch of fresh lettuce.

Shug asked me to take a photo of the Osprey nest that I shared in my post from last week... in case you missed the post click here to read about our local Ospreys.

Look up at the stadium lights.

Meet us in Narrows Park

We enjoyed a picnic with some of my past coworkers and volunteers from DAYBREAK. 

 

"Fun is Good."

Each morning a load of culverts have been unloaded for a big project that will be happening in our village.

 I started this begonia from seed...  I cannot believe the size of it.


 

Have a great week my friends. 

I will be on an adventure... be back soon.

  1. Good Monday morning Carla. Thank you for posting the picture of the Osprey. I am pretty sure that this is what we have been watching down at the farm. Your quote on "living faster than your guardian angels can fly," sure speaks to me this morning. I need to slow down! Gorgeous flowers around your place, and goodness...your begonia is really doing well. Hope you have a blast on your journey...be safe and enjoy a beautiful Monday.

  2. The flowers are all so pretty. I still cannot get over how much the Osprey's nest weigh. How fun you could meet up with your Daybreak friends. Enjoy your adventure. Hugs. Kris

  3. Your begonia plant is getting so big. How wonderful that you grew fresh lettuce in your garden, Carla. Your flowers are coming along nicely too. I like the Susan Branch quote. It seems that people are living so fast these days. I can't keep up, nor do I want to haha. Loved your "this and that" post, dear friend. They are always a favorite, and make my heart smile. : )

  9. I don't know much about Ospreys but I see one now and then, but we have some eagles that live close by. Their nest can weigh over 1000 lbs. It's amazing when you think of it that they can build these hugs nest and they secure them to these tall trees. They keep building up years after years. They mate for life.

    How fun to have grown that big begonia from seed. It's beautiful. Are you still selling bouquets of flowers, I'd love to see photos of them. You always do such a great job.

    Take care.
    Hugs,
    Julia

  10. That begonia is huge! What an accomplishment. The peonies are equally beautiful as well. Lettuce looks great and perfect with a hamburger in my opinion. Wonder what the culverts are for? Janice

  16. Your flowers are exquisite and how fun to harvest your own lettuce. I used to grow a backyard garden and loved it but now I get everything at the local farmers market.
