Hard to believe already to July. Last half of the year. Excited to see what it brings as there has been lots of Magick this year. Planning on keeping the momentum going and being more mindfull.
Perfect day for a Vodka mixed summer drink and trying to get some burn on my legs. Even out the difference lol. Not much luck today.
Kiddo is living in the pool and loving it. So glad he has that.
Once much needed rain subsided walked to Giant Tiger for a couple things. Kiddo grabbed himself 2 chocolate bars, I splurged for myself and then he eats both of his and finishes my Toblerone which I was saying 3 pieces for me tomorrow. I spent 10 minutes trying to find the chocolate in the snack box realizing little sneaker took it and left the package. I knew I should have bought 2.
Working on some felt animal toys for kiddo. 1 done, 1 on the go and make a couple more.
Past a perfect leaf on the way on our walk so kiddo wanted a pic.
Awe raspberries are starting to bloom. So little and cute ones but bet they will taste yummy.
Moved the ivy to the fence. That way it will grow and take over full fence and add some privacy to back yard. Also looks beautiful on fences too; instead of getting into gutters, eaves and causing damage to building. Though I would have left it on the outside wall if I could have.
These potatoes are amazing at how much they are growing. feeling we may have even more thank I thought we would have.
Not our garbage can but this shows just how big the neighborhood raccoon is, the size of his paws man. They are a family and the "dad" is massive.
Kiddo spent a long time in pool this morning until he turned blue and it took awhile to get him warmed up, and of course after our walk today he went back in for a bit more but when his whole body began to shiver I had to sternly make him get out. At least he is enjoying himself.
We went back to see the tadpoles and how they were fairing and well, mini , tiny cutest little baby frogs.
Kiddo loved them and so shocked to see them.
Found a Seagull hang out.
We found 4 Woodpeckers in the trees. This one posed for us and got photobombed by his buddy.
Have to call it quits till fall or cold days before we go that route again. Almost no shade and full sun heat so will be taking different ways for walks. Just to hot, beautiful but with how long of a trail and time we walk not good.
OMG, Climbing Boston Ivy vine, which is growing up our wall and was totally manifested by me out of no where and I am so happy. I love love lovvvveee climbing ivy vines on a house. Such an amazing manifestation.
So yikes. Insane amount of very very large ants and their larva.
Not to mention how they are eating the deck away. We got out the cinnamon and they left quick.
Few flowers and succulent pics from our out and about today.
Kiddo had an aphid friend hitch a ride on his shoe. During walk back from Giant Tiger.
This was beautiful and English Ivy climbing up a tree, love it. Saw this first before I saw the climbing vine here.
Some crazy bug, that looked like a cross between many bugs including a scorpion.
Tried to get a pic of the very cool spider and web across the front steps. That red speck is the spider.
Kiddo trying to grow some Sea Monkeys, I hope they grow for him. They are so cool to watch .
I love how my kiddo sees beauty in Nature. Taught him well for sure. Find beauty in little things and they become the big things and bring bigger things.
Little bit of a shopping ish morning. Did a drop off of stuff to UpTown Thrift. They do so much for the youth in the community only place I would ever donate. Grab some tickets for the food crawl on the 8th next month and had to get the kiddo pool noodle. We grabbed a bit of groceries. If we had a separate freezer, I would have stocked up on so much bread and bakery stuff. I have never seen so much stuff with a 50% off tag before. Did get a few things of course, especially the cinnabon cinnamon buns OMG. Half price and so amazing. I know what I will be stuffing my face with tomorrow during eating time. I add raisins to it, as for me a cinnamon bun must have raisins.
We did take a walk later on kid wanted some timbits and we got a few other things, but yikes was hot. We zigzagged our route to be as under cover of trees and shade as possible. Of course some beautiful flowers etc in peoples yards on the way.
This one went out of focus, so I just imagine the Fae blurred it cause they were in the picture.
Neighbors' yard work day and I had o cut the grass. Not an issue in itself but her whole front lawn covered with mini wild strawberries and the devastation in having to cut over them. I wanted to uproot them all and take them home. I have not seen wild strawberries like that in years, couple decades honestly at least. So cute so vibrant, smelled delicious and tasted that way too.
Are they seriously not just the cutest thing ever. So small. I always believed that they were so tiny and cute like this cause they fed the Fae Folk.
See these berries on very large trees around town also. I have no clue what they are.
And seriously I want to eat some every time I pass but I do not know if I can or not. They look like a black berry or boysenberry but don't think that is how they grow on those massive trees like that. But will def do some digging.
Got a few things from the market , hit up Giant Tiger for a quick couple things, mostly cause kiddo wanted chocolate bars.
He found the most perfect leaf and brought it home.
Kid spent 3 hours in the pool today. Only decided time to get out when he went freezing all of a sudden.
Been trying to get a splinter out of my thumb for since 2 pm, almost 10 and not budging. So tiny and wedged in; it is just going to have to work its way out.
