Tomatoes and a Pooped Sunflower

Well that title should have gotten your attention

I am beaming with pride

Look what I made!

Tonight is caprese with my own

home grown tomatoes, and basil.

So I'm out watering this morning and I see

a bit of green in one of the fountains and assuming it

blew in there with all this horrible wind,

I bend over to pluck it out,

but it doesn't give?

So I pull a little harder and move a rock and the dang

thing has roots and is growing in there!

So a bird flew over the front gate after

gorging at the feeder,

(I'm a good bird mama)

then it stopped in for a drink, AND

pooped out a sunflower seed.

Ya just gotta be constantly amazed

and awed by nature.

Wherever you find it.

I was recently treated to lunch on

two back to back days by two gal pals-

what fun! Great food and lots of chat.

I do not go out often these days,

staying on budget if I can,

so it really was very special to me.

If I could retell the vast array

of topics we covered you would not believe it.

Well maybe you would, as you probably have the

same conversations with your lunch pals.

It's turned hot here finally.

Time for me to hibernate.
