I got behind! Here's what's been going on... I finished Fuzz' sweater in time to bring it to her with all her other birthday loot.

Fuzz enjoyed her gifts, and enjoyed Hamilton's company.

In addition to birthday gifts, I brought oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips and almond paste. Katie requested cookies with almond paste. The almond paste made the cookies really crunchy as the sugar re-crystalized when it hardened, but they tasted good. I was impressed by how well they came out for gluten free, and I think I'll try to make them again without the almond paste.

The baby birds from under the back deck have grown up and taken off. I peeked at them when we got back from our trip and there was one giant baby bird in the nest, and it flew out!

I've picked three strawberries so far. Quality is definitely worth more than quantity in this case! They are so sweet and strawberry-y.

My second set of peas finally came up, and I planted all my tomatoes (15), eggplants (6), and peppers (6)

Tuesday brought tons of rain, and flooded the park as we found on Wednesday. Hamilton still enjoyed his walkies.

The front planter seems to be happy with all the water, too.
