Well, I thought I had an excuse, having had surgery, but if Helen can do all that involves getting married...

Anyhoo, another effort begins, and today I picked:


Home grown!! yay me.

Tomorrow comes a picture of it's having taken over the veggie bed. Oh dear.

My favorite lettuce has now bolted [insert joke here]. That really means when it shoots up in a stalk, apparently thinking it's finished and now time to seed, and it goes bitter. Ah well.
I've still got tomatoes coming, other lettuce plants, etc.

I am a bit concerned about that zucchini/courgette.

This may look like a very mundane picture, but it represents a HUGE achievement: AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF, and two solid weeks' of hard, manual, detailed labour, I CAN NOW PUT MY CAR IN THE GARAGE!!!

This is huge people. Huge. A car has not been able to fit in that garage for... 20+ years?!

The full moon comes!

215/365 - Memorial Day

I actually took time in the morning to reflect, and remember, those who have fought and died, as well as those whom I have loved, and have died.
I went out and spent some time with my aunt, grandma & grandpa. It was lovely; a big line of cars going into the cemetery, but it's such a big place, no one was around where I was.

Snapped very quickly as of course the light turned green just as I got the camera out: skateboarders (and some spectators) on the underpass as I was waiting to get back on the freeway after my first venture to the Hazardous Waste Collection Center in San Pedro. I gathered from their reaction, they didn't have a lot of private parties dropping off 5 gallon cans of asbestos from god knows what year.

213/365 - found the Christmas lights!

And they WORK!Check out these vintage boxes! Not to mention the lights themselves, which I can't believe most of them still worked great!

212/365 - Happy Christmas

3 big boxes of mostly tattered, faded decorations and ornaments. More than half went in the recycle bin. But a lot of icicles left over!
