1st green bean harvest. Beautiful & perfect, but not as plentiful as I could wish. Total 4 oz. Perhaps I should have waited till they were bigger...

This is the output of 10 plants in 2 bags. The 3rd bag has not bloomed, so none there yet. Guess I must devote 4-6 bags to green beans next time.

Sweet moments - camp dinner outdoors, then sitting around the fire pit after dark, then returning to a comfy and inviting Calypso set up in night mode. Soft music playing on Bose speaker.

We're at Cirque! "Echo". Amazing.

Learning to crochet with a Woobles kit. I'm enjoying the process a lot even though I had to unravel & restart 3x. At this point I've learned some about reading patterns, plus single crochet, increase & invisible-decrease stitch, slip stitch, chain stitch, and fasten off. Here's progress so far.

Nice little harvest today for tonight's salad and a kale stir-fry later in the week. 34 leaves of lettuce, 10 spinach, 14 kale, 3 cherry tomatoes, 11 peas, and a couple of rough lemons. I might go cut a scallion or two later.

Potatoes. Planted 6 sprouting minis leftover from a purchased bag from the market, back in October. Today the tops had all died back so I harvested. Here's what I found (the shriveled ones at right are what I originally planted).

I found her at a thrift store. The maker went to some trouble to make her look pretty - pink cheeks, sweet eyes, rosebud mouth, red hair, bow. And that stick fires my imagination. It was likely a broom, but might become a long spoon, a wand, a flute, a violin...

Sweet potato that's hung around the kitchen too long.

Happy Caturday to you too!
