Watch Out for the Snail

 When we lived in California
a long time ago,
we would sometimes find hundreds of snails

crossing our driveway in the evening.
It would be rather creepy.
So I don't have an enduring love affair with snails.

But over the weekend,
Running Man was practicing his welding skills and
made the cutest snail for the garden.

No slime left behind by this one.
Thank goodness.
This achatinoidea is about 2 feet tall.

 Quirky, for sure, but cute just the same.
Until Next time

Last Week

The calendar last week said
it was time for me to celebrate
another birthday.

Look who came to my party.
Deenie, (Everdeen) Baby Odder, (Oliver), San the Man (Sanford)
It can't get much better than this.

Of course, to extend
my special day,
my daughter and baking partner,
did some baking to share.


Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes
with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting.

They were the perfect combo
for the beginning of summer.
The zesty lemon flavor
in both the cake and the frosting
created a delicious treat.

  Both for us


and the co-workers.
The only traces that Elizabeth could
find after a couple of minutes
was one lone blueberry
that had been accidentally dropped on the floor.

Now for the update on my
garden art.
Running Man took it back
home and worked his magic.
It went from this....


to this....
Big difference.
 It really has added a focal point in the garden.

I'm hoping this week
I can stay focused as well.
It's my last full week to be the caregiver
to the littlest grandson.
There's going to be lots of cuddling
going on, of course,
with a little sewing sprinkled in.
Loved those nap times.
Until Next Time-
