Good morning!
My morning started off a bit sluggish, but it was nothing a Green Monster couldn’t handle.

In the GM: 2 handfuls spinach, 1 cup almond milk, 1 scoop Vega choc-o-lot, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1 frozen banana, 1/4 cup oats.

After breakfast and a bit of digesting, Eric and I headed out for a bike-run to kick off this gorgeous morning. We covered about 4 miles in 34 minutes. I love when he comes with me on the bike because he motivates me to push during my runs! He calls himself my ‘coach’. lol. I’ll take whatever I can get…
Like Kale!

I pick a bunch of kale each week and then freeze it for quick Green Monsters throughout the week (I used an old frozen mango bag to store it in- maybe it will make the kale sweet? lol)

Tomatoes are coming up all over the two plants. I finally convinced Eric to move the tomato plants to the same side as the garden beds, so watering has been a bit easier!

The cucumbers are growing like crazy!
Straight ones

Curvy ones

A family of peppers with a wee little bebe!

Banana Peppers

Beets & Carrots
More kale…muhauha.

And one huge time saver for $9.99. :)

We haven’t had rain in over two weeks and I just checked the forecast and we’re not supposed to get a lick of rain for the next 14 days either! This does not bode well for farmers!
Deck updates…
Eric is working on installing some patio stones that the side staircase will rest on.

It’s a tough dig & very rocky!

The middle staircase is now 100% complete with railings:


More sanding of railings

Eric is almost finished the privacy wall:

We used this kit:

We’re loving it so far. I like the visibility when it’s open, but it’s nice to be able to close it in case we are up to trouble.



Hopefully we don’t have any screws loose!

But I think you already know the answer to that…
I’m off to get ready for a lunch & hike date with Ange! Have a good one.
