T Stands for Various Things from this Past Week

Hi everyone. 

It is Tuesday again. Already. This past week flew by for me. It is once again time for T over at   Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog where we share our drink related posts. And usually a bit of other things also.

Last week I didn't do as much yard work compared to the week before, but I was having fun with other things. I did a bit of baking.

I made a  whole wheat honey sunflower seed bread. It's especially yummy toasted with a slice of cheese.

Also I made a lemon poppy seed bundt cake.  Would you like a slice with your T today?

I also met my walking friend at the beach one day. This is probably the last time we can beach walk until fall because all the summer parking restrictions are coming into play, so unless we pay to park at the state beach, our usual lot will now be closed to us. 

It was a gorgeous day to walk.

You can see my 2 pups in the forefront of the photo and my friend with her dog ahead of them. My 4 legged family members decided it was a great day for swimming, which made me get a bit behind.

Swimming gets them very excited so that also means a short play session. My friend's dog isn't a swimmer, so when Maddie decided to lay down in the (cold) water and lounge my friend shook her head in disbelief.

No wonder why I am constantly needing to clean my car. Smile.

I also felt like such a rebel last week because I actually went out to eat too. Inside a restaurant. It was the first time since being totally vaccinated and past my 2 weeks of waiting. And my first time inside a restaurant in over a year. Did we really used to do this all the time without thinking?

I met the hubby for lunch before my beach walk at the public golf course near his office. They have a nice little club house restaurant there. Since this is a public course and not a member only place,  anyone can stop by to eat. 

I felt very safe because tables were very spread out, masks were required when you got up from your table which people were actually wearing, and also there were those black and clear separating panels  you can see behind my husband. We were surrounded by them except on our left, and on our left (where there were no panels) were no seats as it maybe 10 feet to the door outside. I actually had planned on eating outside, but when we got there it felt cold and windy.  I was feeling brave and gave it a try inside. 

My drink for T this week is my ice tea and my water. 

 

While I waited for my husband (to arrive), I could see all the golfers out on the links. It was a nice day to play, other than the wind. 

And out front of the restaurant was this gorgeous doubled blossomed cherry tree which was in full bloom.

I think it was a double blossom cherry tree. If not, you can let me know if you happen to be able to tell. 

Everything is greening up. Even though my allergies don't appreciate it, I love when the leaves are just popping and how they look.

The lettuce, kale and spinach are growing more in the cold frame. I also started zucchini and cucumbers which I will transfer to bigger pots once they get their adult leaves.

Asparagus is starting to show.

And I had one piece of the beehive that needed painting, so I got a little sample container of paint. The bottom box could have stayed white, but I decided to alternate the whole hive yellow and white. 

And yes for those who may wonder-if any of you-  I did make it to Pop's, but not until late on Mother's Day Sunday, so I'll share that with you another time. 

Hope you have a wonderful week, a happy T day, and thanks for stopping by my blog.
