How was your weekend and how is your week going?

We saw the grands this weekend. The grand girl was running in a 5 K.  It was a lot of fun watching the kids. AND the excitement didn't stop there. We got home just in time to discover a turtle laying her eggs next to the drive. She dug a hole, laid the eggs, covered the hole and off she went.

This is what she looked like but this isn't mama turtle.

 

 

Her running pose;)

 

AND the Eternal Garden Pics

It's day lily time in NC.

 

The coneflowers are blooming. They look like zinnias, don't they?

 

Remember the disgarded rose branch cuttings I stuck in the ground by Captain's grave?

ANDLast but not least, Florida sky shots.

 

Are you a runner? Seen a lovely sunset? Got flowers?

I'm at Cowboy Kisses today chatting about Annie Oakley.  If you're in the vicinity, and have an interest, please stop by.

Did You Know

 Did you know, that the terms ocean and sea, though used interchangeably, aren't exactly the same?

The ocean is the huge body of water that covers most of the earth. The sea is the large body of water that bumps up against land and connects it to the ocean.

It's Ketch-Up Day

 

Did the moms and caregivers out there have a wonderful weekend? I sure hope so.

The HH and I went to Shelton Vineyards for dinner. They had a special Mother's Day Selection.  It started with either a salad, soup, or another selection they had listed. Fried Tortellini, maybe? I chose the salad. The croutons were hands down the best I've ever had.

For the main course I went with the vegetarian option and the HH got Mai Mai. And yes I did end up bringing a box home, since my plate was overflowing;)

And.....I brought most of my dessert home too:) The HH had half of his cheesecake finished before I managed to snap a pic of it:)

And on our way out the door, the ladies were given a rose and a little box of macarons. 

This is a picture of the vineyards. There's a rose bush at the beginning of each row.  The roses are blooming and are so pretty.

AND

I saw this hydrangea at Home Depot. You can't really tell from my picture but the flower is huge. It's the biggest hydrangea that I've ever seen. It was probably three times larger than my hand and I don't have small hands.

AND

The Amaryllis is blooming.

  AND last but not least, if you have an opportunity check out this trailer. It is just amazing. It's about a wild fish and the unusual friend he made.

 What's your word for:

It's Ketch-up Day

 

 

 

How was your weekend and how is your week shaping up?

Ours has been thought provoking.

We had a pause moment. Amazon dropped off a package that wasn't ours.  We didn't recognize the name or the address. If it had been a postal delivery we would have just returned it to the post office. As it was, we thought we'd stick the address in GPS and drop it off. And then we paused. Three months ago we would have done just that, but violence is escalating at such a pace in this country that knocking on a stranger's door or pulling into their driveway can get you shot. I wish I was exaggerating. Unfortunately, I'm not. This is now America's reality. 

AND

It was a lazy Sunday.

 

AND In the garden

Hostas

AND 

Sunday we had burgers for dinner. I had plant based (The Impossible Burger) and the HH had beef. Can you tell which is which?

Burger A

Burger B

Got hostas? Tried plant based burgers? Worried about guns? Did you have a lazy Sunday?
