Sunday Fun
It is Sunday, right? I took the day off from work yesterday, ended up not feeling well and spent most of the day sleeping. So, of course I woke up this morning all wide-eyed and bushy-tailed thinking it's Monday.
I think we might go snorkeling. Or to the dog beach. Or both.

no time for blogging
Well, I've been a bit busy lately; my sister even found me a part time job printing t-shirts for her boat crew! So, yay for extra cash and easy jobs.

I have been, in my spare time (instead of blogging) playing this cute game on facebook: And look! My little people go to the bathroom! Ha!

Well, it's been awhile since I blogged regularly. Mostly I blame Twitter, but I had a busy week. Several custom orders hit me at once (yay!) and I finally finished the watermelon zebra sandals!
And my mad gardening skills: These ones are cherry peppers. The larger one is about the size of a golf ball.
Bell peppers. Two different plants.
My Cosmos have finally started to flower:
Unfortunately, I'm having trouble with my lemon cukes. They form small buds like these:
...and then they fall off and die. From what I've read this should be the perfect time of the year, but it's not fruiting :(
Is it not getting pollinated properly?
Also, my sugar snap peas are being the wusses of my garden. they seem to adore full sun but can't stand the rain. One of my biggest plants has started to turn yellow and brown and shriveling up, and the only thing I can attribute it to is the wet weather.
Darn it.
Ah, well, I did manage to gather enough leafy greens this morning to make myself a salad for lunch. Woo-hoo!Eating my veggies!

vegetables
So, my garden has been growing...
My bell peppers are coming in:
And what is (I thought) a banana pepper, but I just picked it and fed it to my cousin and he says it's defintily not a banana pepper, so I dunno. I planted a variety, so I'm not sure what's what.
And some artichoke:
My cherry tomatoes!
AND.... guess what?? My Mr. Stripey transplants have sprouted their own tomatoes! I have two Mr. Stripeys!!

The past couple of days have been a total downer.
Even though the ducklings from the last post are super adorable, we've been trying to keep them out of our yard. Mostly because they need to learn to be ducks, the way ducks should, and also because we have four dogs. Well, Friday afternoon, we thought all the ducklings were gone when we let the dogs outside. One little duckling didn't make it. The other five were gathered and taken to a wildlife refuge, where hopefully they'll have a chance to start fresh.
The second piece of horribleness is that one of our dogs (not the duck killer) fell ill the same day. he got progressively worse and was taken to the vet Tuesday morning. The diagnosis wasn't good. the vet is scheduled to make a house call today at noon and we have to say goodbye to our little Tiger.
Stupid week.

Sunday!? Where has the week gone?
Well, since I slacked off yesterday, today I must head into the shop to work a bit. No one else will be there so I should be able to get some uninterrupted work done.
I checked on my plants this morning to find a lot more yellow blooms on my lemon cucumber:
And my cherry tomatoes have grown!
My sugar snap peas have more flowers (but only the one pea pod)
And..... Introducing.... The 1st BELL PEPPER! WOO!

So, this morning I went out to water my plants and was startled by a black racer slithering across the porch. After he left, I continued to water my plants, turned around, and was surrounded by DUCKS!
They've been wandering around the neighborhood and yesterday appeared by our pool. They look sort of small, compared to the huge monster-sized ducks that live down here, so I'm wondering if they lost their mother duck.
Here's my mom, trying to lead them out to the canal:
Well, they're back today and cute as ever. So, I guess we have ducks.
