Flowers, crochet, and a dab of silliness – this week’s
pictures reflect the Bug Household fairly well, I do believe.

No Sunday selfie this week – just pictures of all of our
lovely flowers.

This lunch isn’t much to look at, but the tuna & trail
mix melt was pretty darned tasty!
Dr. M decided we didn’t have enough flowers, so he got another
basket of petunias. And we’ve already seen a hummingbird enjoying this basket!
No picture, but hopefully we’ll be ready the next time.

On to the next square pattern,
#7, in my first colorway.

We had planned to put a black bag over this stump to
discourage this type of activity, but we can’t help it: we like to see things
grow. Even things that we’ll probably prune later.

Second colorway in this pattern.
We’re all ready for April
showers around here.

Dr. M says, “New from Upcycled
Awnings of Plateau, our cussed’em made “Curtains for Penguins” glider awning!
Guaranteed to leave your neighbors asking ‘what the hell is that?’ Here at
Upcycled Awnings of Plateau, WTF, we leave no stone unturned to insure that
your out back operations are always shady!” Have I mentioned that my husband is
a nut?
But he does take lovely pictures
of the moon.

I’m gonna have peony blossoms soon!
It’s the MLB edition of Birds in the Backyard – chipping (Chipper
Jones) sparrows and the Boys of Summer (male goldfinches).
I was given a smart plug for Christmas & it took me four
months to figure out what I wanted to use it for. I’ve really enjoyed being
able to turn the fan on and off without having to get out of bed. It’s going to
be the best thing ever this summer. Ha!
As I write this, we are into our second day of pouring rain.
And even though the grass didn’t need mowing on Saturday or Sunday, I kind of
wish I’d mowed it anyway. Might need to borrower a lawn tractor after the rain
stops! But despite all this rain, my eyes have been extra dry. Allergies? Who
knows. In any case, when I asked my eye doctor about it he said that I should
put a warm compress over my eyes for about five minutes a couple of times a
day. Which sounds pretty simple, right? But for some reason I find it hard to
read, play games, or crochet with my eyes closed, so I haven’t managed to try
it yet. What good-for-you thing are you too trifling to do?
tuna & trail mix melt
ReplyDeleteThat looked awesome! I still miss the old Tuna Helper meal kit that I had for dinner more times that was probably healthy. The rest of my family hates tuna, and egg salad which I can't understand.
I had egg salad today - ha!
DeleteUh oh. Dry eyes. It's about That Time. Next stop, Restasis.
ReplyDeleteYup. Sigh.
DeleteI really like the off white colorways! Elegant!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Deleteit's all bloomy here too. those afghans are going to be gorgeous and that is an awesome shot of the moon.
ReplyDeleteHe does do a good job with the moon. I'm still not sure what I'm doing with two of the afghans - maybe a drawing!
DeleteA warm compress on the eyes sounds FABULOUS. I may try that and my eyes aren't even dry!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are looking great -- definitely ahead of ours!
I think I might try the compress tonight. We'll see. Ha!
DeleteThanks for the encouragement Dana. I have made a tentative start and hope to keep going. Your garden must be looking beautiful - love all those photos. I am trying to teach myself to crochet but find it impossible to follow a pattern properly - I can do the various stitches but the patterns are something else. Love your squares and colourways.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It wouldn't be fair if you could do EVERYTHING - you're so creative in other areas.
DeleteHi, It's me, Bella. I love that neutral color. The patterns show up beautiful, so textural.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are beautiful. I haven't put any annuals out yet. Haven't done a single container garden. Looking forward to it though. That sweet potato plant practically took over the front steps last year.
I'm enjoying the neutral color blanket too - the patterns look so different with just the one color.
DeleteYour sweet potato plant was a thing of beauty last year! Maybe I should see if Dr. M will put one out front here.
I love tuna melts...now I want one! Your comments with the upcycled awnings had me laughing.
ReplyDeleteSend some rain this way - our lawn is crunchy.
I’ll bet you wouldn’t like this tuna - it had nuts & dried cranberries in it - ha!
