A touch of green!


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

It is now turning into a beautiful afternoon! Have enjoyed a restful morning; inasmuch as I was wide awake at 4:00 am and could hear the sounds of chirping birds outside our window. I had two choices; to get up and / or to go back to sleep. Chose the latter; and slept in til after 9:00 am! Our Blue snoozed in as well! My right shoulder / arm has been a bit of a bother; so I ended up taking an Acetaminophen, which helps to relieve pain. Do not know if it really helped; but whenever I take a pill (which is rare), it tends to 'slow' me down for a tid. Therefore, am moving at a bittid 'snail's pace' at the moment.

Going back to Wednesday, May 27th post ('Updated Lady Head Vase Pictures!'), the medication suggested to Alan for his knee, is 'Celebrex'; and as mentioned, expensive. When we were at Costco yesterday, he checked out the price and as a tidbit, it will be much cheaper to purchase there. Celebrex is more of an anti-inflammatory measure; which methinks may help to also reduce his pain / discomfort.

As per our Lady Head Vase Collection, have unwrapped more Ladies (five boxes from our 'cluttered' garage / basement) that were not able to fit on our shelves, due to lack of space. Also have displayed our 'damaged' Ladies; so it has been a tidbitz exercise in organization.

Also, the above photo (taken by a friend of mine) is of our special Green Glass Hatted Lady Head Vases. You can refer to earlier posts about the various Lady Head Vases; including this exquisite pair.

Tonight we have a dear friend coming over for a barbecue. She is bringing steak (special treat!) along with a bottle of wine; and we will be supplying a baked potato, with all the trimmings (ie garlic chives thriving in our bittidz planter), as well as a creative Caesar Salad, and a bakery treat of a fruit flan / torte for dessert. We will delight in using our barbecue and she can simply chill out on a comfy cushioned lawn chair! Am planning also to try the Lamb Kebabs on the barbecue (recipe in yesterday's post) in the near future! Mmmmmmm.

Tidbit - Be thankful for good friends and their 'generosity of spirit!' (I like the steak and wine suggestion! LOL!) Also, 'What goes around, comes around!'

Bittid - Appreciate your home and garden. Take some quiet time out to reflect upon your daily Blessings; and 'Praise Him In All Things!'

We are joyful for the vibrant growth of all our plants and colourful flowers! ie. Cherry tomatoes, red and green peppers, cucumbers, brocoli, aparagus, strawberries, sage, thyme, rosemary, oregano, margoram, tarragon, parsley, garlic chives, chocolate mint, and spearmint mint, dill, and sweet basil etc. Plus our newly transported rhodos appear to be 'happier' in their more spacious location. (You can refer to my post of the past few weekends if you wish). Lots of dragon flies, hummingbirds, bees etc! Very robust and healthy atmosphere!

Have a few bittidz things to do; hope you are enjoying a wonderful weekend!

Peace and God Bless.
