Weekending


Yay! The Thai long beans are out and about!

Let's not mention the fact that they were out the other day, when I posted that I couldn't find any beans from them.

They were, and they looked pretty much like they do there.

Foot-long beans hanging in the air that I completely missed.

Kinda like this guy:


The smooth-skinned Telegraph Improved Cucumber that I had said hadn't made an apparance yet, in that same post.

Clearly, he had, and I just hadn't noticed.

Miss Observant, apparently, I am not.

But oh well.

A gardener is constantly learning.

Ain't that the truth.

This weekend, we caught crabs.

We gardened.

We worked.

We played.

We had a nice Sunday meal:

Grilled Marinated Flank Steak (after eating that recipe my whole life, it still makes me swoon - how many things can you say that about?)

Homegrown Squash and Zukes, broiled in the oven because our little grill is too small to hold all of it.
 :)

And homegrown cucumber salad - Mildred's recipe.

And homemade bread.

MmmMmm, it was good.

And it was fun to have a meal that mainly (aside from the cow) came from the garden.


I just had to take a picture of these crabs because they were just so brilliantly BLUE.

Aren't they gorgeous?

Love Mesome Crab.

One, maybe two people that read this blog will get that sentence, but that's okay.

It makes me laugh.

I can't believe it's Monday.

You know what else I can't believe?

This:


Fait' and Begorrah!  Are those White Pelicans?  In June?

Yup, we saw them yesterday, fly overhead - we both sputtered as we were eating, "Whi-wh-white Pelicans!" and then they landed at a little sand bar out in front of our house.

We've only ever seen them in Winter - generally late winter.

They're supposed to migrate up North to breed.

But apparently some of them didn't want to.

So here they are.

Making my day.

:)

A good week to Ye!
