...6.30...Over the Weekend...

...I used this recipe from PlantYou to make these delicious Vegan Donut Holes...

...air fried them...

...and dusted them with cinnamon sugar...

...they are really delicious...

...so hot and fresh and sweet and cinnamon-y...

...I think I ate half of them...

...the Man had seen a mockingbird eating OUR blueberries...so we quickly covered them up with some netting...

...then I did a super quick early morning grocery shop...just to get milk really...but I also replaced our veg baked beans that we used up last weekend...

...because...after we thought all of the neighbors were awake...and before it got too hot...we wanted to cut these branches so that they're not rubbing against the house...

...so the Man climbed up our tallest ladder...it really is that hot and steamy already...

...and used the pole saw to 'whack off' a bunch of branches...

...and I dragged the branches over to the street for pickup...

...we came in all hot and sweaty and took showers and we were rewarded with a nice windstorm...

...and some much cooler weather...

...Sunday after Church...I went out to the garden to do the daily harvest...

...and found some pretty major devastation on my Rutger tomatoes...

...this chubby little green guy is the culprit...I tried to get him to let go of the branch he was munching on and he absolutely would not as he held on fast with his stout little legs...so there was so much damage already that I didn't think one more branch lost would hurt...so I just plucked the limb he was on and tossed him still clinging to his tomato branch over the fence into the slough...

...I was chatting with Mom on the phone and she said..."you know...you could end his life"...and I said..."oh...I could never do that"...I don't think he can find his way back all the way across the road from the slough...

...altogether on the two big Rutger plants I found 3 of these buggers...none on the little plant yet...and I am faithfully...routinely...and repeatedly checking my tomatoes for his comrades...

...in other news I also have to feed my Toby's dip addiction...

...by making another double batch...

...which will just about get me through the week...the Man and I have snack-time every afternoon about 4...before my bike ride...

~Wishing you a lovely start to your week!
