Last night I made a veggie spaghetti sauce and added some basil from the funny little greenhouse. WOW! Was that flavorful. And, of course, it was wonderful to have our first home-grown herb of the summer.
Today I planted our zucchini, cucumbers, multi-coloured peppers, chili peppers and tomatoes. This is the weekend for gardening in our area. Up until now there was the worry of over-night frost but not anymore.:)
I saved some planting for other family members who will be sharing our garden this summer. Monday's the day.
My tomatoes really needed to get into the ground.
I'm hoping the mushroom compost we added to the soil will produce many beautiful vegetables.
We are in for warm to warmer to down-right hot weather the next four days. Wonderful!
It's a busy long weekend for us; a very special someone had her 6th birthday party today.
"Happy Birthday, Riley" "Wow, where has the time gone?"
And we are dog-sitting 'til Sunday night.
Yes, our grand-dog, Forest, arrived for the weekend. In he bound, with his over-night bag containing all the necessities of HIS life, for a two-night sleep-over. He keeps us hopping; all 90 pounds of him.
He adores the retired-guy. He considers him one of his best buds.
I'd say the feeling is mutual by all the tasty pieces of chicken he got at dinner tonight.
Audrey is not very hospitable. But then again she is perplexed by the uselessness of dogs. ;-)
And the smell.
"I'm paralyzed with disgust."

"Oh Audrey...really!"
I hope you are enjoying a fun weekend.
It's the Victoria Day long weekend here so there's
no telling what might still happen. ;-)
Even for Audrey.
