Do You See What I See?

 

Early Girl Tomato

It was M who spotted the teeny tiny tomato, about the size of a green pea, today!  But, I got all excited about it!  I guess the tomato plant (Early Girl) is living up to its name!  I do hope that there will be more tomatoes to follow!  

Meanwhile, in the front garden, we have:

But, no baby pomegranates, yet.

No potatoes, yet, either, but, the sprouting potato I planted in a pot seems to be coming along, nicely:

Daughter had as restful a night as she could have had with a painful jaw.  I stayed up till after 3:00 a.m., partly to keep an eye on her, while she slept, then went to bed.  I heard her get up at 7:30 a.m. to take her next dose of antibiotics and pain medication, but, I didn't get out of bed and fell back asleep.  She, too, had gone back to sleep and was still sleeping when I woke up later in the morning.  I let her sleep in as sleep helps with the healing.  She is feeling a lot better, today, but, still not fully recovered, of course.  She has a new video game to play, so she's entertaining herself with it while she recovers from the extraction.  

It was another warm day, today, with a daytime high of 94F.  I walked around the garden a bit in the early afternoon to check on the plants.  Even though I had watered the back garden, yesterday evening, some of the plants were drooping!  The garden cats were hiding in their cool spots and I watched a little sparrow hopping around the yard with its beak open due to the heat!  

M came to tend to the garden in the early evening.  He applied fertilizer to the citrus trees, weeded around the tomato plants, and watered the back yard.  After he left, I weeded a little more and watered the front garden.

When I went out to water the front, I saw another bunny!  A little smaller than the white one and a light brown color.  I didn't have my cell phone with me to take a picture (in any case, it was a bit dark by then), but, I hope I'll see it again during the day time to take a picture.  

Afterwards, I practiced the piano and then, made what I called "curry soup" for my daughter for dinner (blended rice, fish curry, and a little chicken stock); she called it Sri Lankan baby food!  LOL.  Earlier, I had blended garbanzo beans (chick peas) with chicken stock, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper for her breakfast and rice, ground beef, corn, and chicken stock for lunch.  I also made another batch of "whipped potatoes" and there is ice cream, etc., as well.  Tomorrow, we will do some fruit smoothies.  

Today, I am grateful for:

- Daughter seems to be recovering nicely
- Another sunny and warm day
- Baby tomatoes!
- M tending to the garden
- Phone calls from family and friends

Today's joyful activity was gardening.

And just like that, the month of April comes to an end!

Plans for tomorrow include more weeding and maybe some housekeeping (laundry, etc.)

How was your Friday?  What are your plans for the weekend?
