Our days continue to be quiet ones
as we seek out pleasant distractions in every nook and cranny.
Taking tea in a favourite spot in The Humble Bungalow Garden.
Tending to the many potted plants on the patio gives me great pleasure.
Hand watering gives me an opportunity to spot weeds and do some advance planning when removing spent plants.
A fragrant bouquet of sweet peas are a lovely treat on a sunny day
after working long hours in the garden.
Our garden is host to many creatures...
European Wall Lizards
Butterflies
Bees and various other pollinators
Owls
Snails
Raccoons
Deer
Squirrels
Birds
Mama Raccoon as she descends from the next door neighbour's Arbutus Tree.
She was rading the crows nest!
The crows were cawing like mad and making a big fuss.
I snapped a couple of photos but Mama was growling at me so I thought I better sneak back inside before she got any closer.
A quick and lazy dinner that was tasty is just what I needed after a busy day.
Prawns sauteed in butter and garlic with an assortment of deli salads.
Marigold and Helen sweet felted mice made by https://www.williewoolly.com/
were reunited for a fun playtime with our darling granddaughter Isla.
If you haven't yet seen Robyn's felted creations
do yourself a favour and treat yourself to a visit.
Isla made the swing!
We savoured our tea and had some girl time.
The antique porcelain tea set was my husband's great grandmother's.
Vintage enamelware in The Hunble Bungalow laundry room.
I love the battered look of these pieces and seek them out.
I've not really been to the "shops" much...
the garden centres are outdoors so I feel very comfortable shopping.
Thrift shops have not really been on my radar
although I dearly miss perusing the aisles for treasures.
I do venture into Kay's Korner in the Cook Street Village when on my walks.
Karin is welcoming and has all the right safety protocols in place.
The wee jug on the left is from her shop...a recent Covid purchase.
Today I am on a mission to buy black mondo grass.
I plan to plant them in big pot in our front garden.
The deer do not fancy munching them and there is a bare patch that needs something to fill it.
As we navigate these strange times...
We must continue to be mindful of others respecting their choices
and not being judgemental.
Hope that you are well and staying safe.
