| Heron posing for a picture? |
This morning on the walk with the ladies, I was pleased to find that my legs had returned to their usual springiness after more than a week of recovery from my Church Mountain efforts. And halfway around Lake Padden, I saw this heron who does seem to be posing prettily for me. Or maybe he was fishing, but still I was happy to say hello to him (her?).

| Our cornfield today |
Then I went out to the garden to pull some weeds before it gets too hot, and I see that our corn has tasseled and has some ears beginning to form. Our garden is a veritable cornucopia of goodies right now: I am harvesting beans, zucchini, Sun Gold tomatoes (the little cherry type ones), and cucumbers. My friend John will bring me a bunch of kale from his garden tomorrow, so we are in vegetable abundance here at the end of July.

| Aww, so cute! |
After I left some zucchini on my neighbor's porch, she sent me this image in text, and it's so adorable I have to share it with you. None of the squash I left her were crookneck, but after seeing this, I just might have to grow some next year!
:-)
Herons are such good company.
ReplyDeleteI love those squash critters. How clever. My daughter would say that was a much better use for them than eating them since she dislikes summer squash. I no longer buy summer squash because I've found I too am not as fond of them as I was a kid when we had to eat so much because they were abundant in the garden.
ReplyDeleteHooray for garden goodness.
ReplyDeleteSmiling at the squash - and very pleased your legs have recovered.
