Enjoying the garden!





















Good Evening or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!

Today has been a very relaxing tid of a day! The weather has been fabulous; and that has really helped us with a bit more gardening in our tidbitz patio / garden bittidz setting.

When you are outdoors, working with your hands in the soil, you feel such a calm and peace within; and also, joyfully anticipating the magnificent growth from your labours! We have now planted all our herbs and flowers; and they 'look amazing' , if we say so ourselves! LOL! Now, with regular fertilizing and daily TLC, we look forward to many wondrous creations! Love the above photo image! Mmmmmm.

Meanwhile, we have spareribs (very reasonable $, from Costco) slowly cooking; and oh, they smell soooooo delicious! Mmmmmmmm! Tonight, we will enjoy also, some of our garden produce; ie butter lettuce, sweet basil, oregano, parsley, chives, garlic chives, rosemary, tarragon, thyme, sage, marjoram, with our meat, salad, and veggies! We also have mint and dill sprouting now in abundance; along with 6 cherry tomato plants; 4 / 6 being the 'sweet million' variety! They are excellent; and for those of you who love cherry tomatoes, those are the best! Have also planted a 'chocolate mint'; sounds wonderfully good to me! To be used in tidbit desserts perhaps?

Cleaned off our patio furniture and now it is set up invitingly for the upcoming warmer weather seasons. We are going to look for a barbecue (ours gave up the ghost last year), a heater lamp,(to be appreciated also in the fall & winter months), 2 cosy comfy lounge cots, and 4 cushioned chairs; all to be 'found' at an excellent price! At least, that is my thought! LOL! (Maybe, a 'Father's Day Special Sale!').

My bittid ankle / foot is slowly mending; still somewhat swollen; (am not able to put much weight on it; but whatever...) and I have found that not wearing any support on it, is better; because the wraps have a tendency to 'dig in' to the flesh etc. Plus, I am discoveing that heat (sunshine LOL!) seems more therapeutic than the ice treatment. Perhaps, when you first injure yourself, ice is a necessity, to be applied asap. The warmer temperatures certainly have been a plus! At long last, in our part of the world!

Tidbit - Appreciate and delight in the beauty of home grown herbs / veggies, and flowers from your garden or patio / garden (such as ours). We will attempt to grow strawberries sometime; guess you need a special strawberry pot? He created the Universe in 6 days; so whenever I am outside in a garden, I always think of how magnificent and awesome His Creation IS.

Bittid - Tomorrow is Sunday, a Day of Rest. Praise Him in ALL Things.

Good Night and God Bless.
