A thoughtful Treat


 My Neighbour came by with a thoughtful treat for us last month.  They are cookies of some kind, not too sweet tasting.  He had just returned from a trip to China and brought them over.  He asked if his father could trim some branches from our backyard tree that were providing a bit too much shade on their garden.  It was certainly ok with us.

His father is very agile, he hopped on a fence and stood atop his garden shed and proceeded to chop off the offending branches.  He is obviously much younger than me and husband M although he has grown children and grandchildren.

 It is the long Civic Holiday weekend in Ontario,Canada.  Employers don't have to observe this one.

Hope you enjoy this meme.

Tomato Cages

 


As I mentioned a few days ago, we were able to find some tomato cages at the dollar store $1.75 each!  The tomato plants were falling over and needed support.  I also got some wire string.  The tomato plants have grown a lot more since this photo was taken.

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Sailing theme and Chicken with Spaghetti Aglio E Olio

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! Here is my 'Sailing' ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2"). Rain is on an indefinite break but I am completing her themes for the year.


 For the dinner date, I pan fried some chicken breasts and paired it with spaghetti Aglio E Olio.
