Budding artist, bounty and Netflix

Leo with his creation and me

In Avellino's coffee shop this past weekend, Leo came over to share his masterpiece. He's got quite an eye, if you ask me. I asked Robert, Leo's dad, to take a picture of me with the budding artist. It's amazing that Leo has grown so much; I keep forgetting that he's seven and a half!

Another bounty from the garden

I just came in from the garden with some broccoli and kale (and a few strawberries) for my guy to prepare. It's my job to grow the veggies, but he will steam them to perfection for our enjoyment for several days. That means I need to stay out of the way, which I am happy to do in order to have the task done by a professional. I asked him if it seems as though we have more bounty earlier than in past years, and he thinks it's mostly because I've learned what to plant and what not to plant. Whatever the reason, I'm thrilled with the garden this year. I still need to go out there today to water and weed and harvest some raspberries.

And then I'll come in and settle down with my laptop to watch the last four episodes of Orange is the New Black. I had to search for awhile to find a spoiler-free Season 4 link, but there it is. I already know the big reveal in the next-to-last episode because I peeked at some of the other reviews. Trust me, it won't spoil it for me, but that doesn't mean that we are all the same. So far, it's the best season, in my opinion, but it's filled with really unsettling scenes. I dream about it at night and wake up thinking about it. I think a couple of actors have outdone themselves and should at least get Emmy nominations, if not wins.

So that's my Tuesday update. I will be skipping the Senior Trailblazer hike on Thursday, but I'll be putting something up here, creature of habit that I am. I'm not sure at this point how I'll be spending the day,  but you know there will be exercise in it somehow. I've got my weekly step count to think of, if nothing else.
