Life with Boogie & Squeaks

Partial sun halo 😍

The last time I wore this shirt, I got a chocolate chip in the front pocket, which melted. Then I washed it & ironed it. There's still some chocolate chip in that pocket today. At least it's very clean & wrinkle-free?

I love that the people who lived here before planted these apple trees 🍏🥹🍎

Samosas -- these are with sweet onion, potato & peas. I found a mango ginger chutney that worked as a decent substitute for the traditional tamarind chutney. This was fun. Definitely a Sunday meal for me, since it takes almost 3 hours for all of the steps ❤️

Happy summer solstice! ☀️💚😎💚☀️

I got some plants potted for the stand this afternoon. It was so overgrown that it was easy to find plants to divide and thin out. I might have gotten carried away with my new loppers, though. But I'm going to cut the branches so that they fit in our little electrical wood chipper. I'm looking forward to thinning out this area next.

When we got home, we played some Disco Elysium & ate burritos. Now Squeaks is going to play games & chat with a friend. I'm headed out to water the gardens. I still gardened quite a bit today but noticed a persistent headache, which might be the start of something. Maybe not. I suppose we shall see.

This is the last section that needs to be done -- my gardening stuff. Do you see how badly I'm using that shelf? Why am I like this? It's probably the not having time for my hobbies thing. But I'm making gardening a priority again. It clears my mind & it never feels like labor. I can sweat buckets & never want to stop. It doesn't feel like exercise, but it's that & then some 💚

I have 3 varieties of bamboo -- black, green & golden. I believe it's the green bamboo that's the issue. I know that he black bamboo doesn't spread, it just slowly gets thicker. But I will definitely solve the mystery before too much longer 😅
