It was a very good day

The Bainbridge Art Museum, the new Alehouse, Thai dinner on the waterfront, gelato, then this.  Just another Ho Hum day in Paradise😉

Success Story

Several years ago I planted some dried nasturtium seeds a neighbor gave me  in an old tuna can.  These are their great grandchildren.  Next year I'm going to plant them in hanging baskets because these babies like to trail.  Almost overnight they grew up and over the two small blueberry bushes that those disgusting tent caterpillars tried to gobble up.

If anyone wants seeds, I will have plenty to share.

Dill Pickles

Seventeen pounds of cukes
very slowly starting to pickle
in brine with garlic, chile, dill and spices.

Not a drop of vinegar!

Nasturtiums

Five different colors came from last year's seeds.  Last year the only color was orange.  Besides these three colors I got dark red and a pale peach.  I'm mystified.

Exotic Life Forms

Look what's living in a carrot blossom!
