Hi everyone.
Welcome June
It is once again time for T. and share our drink related posts at Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog.
Boy May sure flew right by, and I am sure June will also. So for my first T post of this new month let me show you what I 've been up to last week while home.
My online teaching took up a good amount of time, but I did manage to do some other things just to get off the computer.
Saturday I planted my veggie garden.
Can you find my Diet Coke in this next photo? I switched over from ice tea (my warm weather preference) because the Diet Coke bottle has a cap and it would last me all day.
And I also planted some pots of annuals on my deck.
The black dog statue was a gift from my hubby for my birthday. He bought him because he reminded him of Pete, so we call him little Pete.
And if you wonder why there are oranges on the frame that supports my grape vine, it's because the Baltimore Orioles enjoy them.
Can you see all the big buds on my peony?
And I picked asparagus from my garden.
Funny story about my asparagus. I decided many years ago to plant some seeds and see what happen. When I told a lady who worked at a garden center I had planted seeds, she laughed at me and said the only way to get asparagus was to get some plants and start them that way.
Well my asparagus seeds grew some great plants and I have been able to pick some every spring.
And I did some other baking too.
And when I fed my sourdough I used the discard to make some pizza dough.
And we had some yummy pizza but I forgot to take a photo of that.
And I also made some rhubarb quick bread, which was a new recipe for me.
I can't wait to see my peony flowers. I have so many buds this year.
Ad I'll have roes pretty soon.
And buds are forming on my perennial salvias.
And I have irises now too.
And there's still flowers on my ground phlox.
Socially distantiing of course. But you can't eat something so yummy with a mask on.
And the little bit of normalcy meeting someone was nice.
And since T day is also the second of the month, it is time to repost something from the past. Today is the Second on the Second at Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog. This one is from June 2016. This is not my garden, (it's in a friend's) but if I had such a cool teapot I would certainly hang it like this. I think it is a great garden decoration.
Enough for today I think. Have a super T day everyone.

And do you like my washstand planter? I splurged this year and bought a couple of new pots for my deck.
And Pink, the metal flamingo, was a Mother's Day gift from my daughter. It's made from recycled cans.

This time I have been craving quiche so I made a Swiss cheese and asparagus one.

And finally the flower gardens are budding and blooming.
My mountain bluettes about to bloom.

Oh yes, and I did break the rules and meet a friend for an ice cream this past week.
