The first tiny tomato

Sunny, hot, and humid this morning on my walk like yesterday with temperature in the 70's already. There were lots of cars in the parking lot. I guess everyone was trying to get in their exercise in before it got hotter. People were already at the playground with their kids!
I saw the heron again standing on the rocks. I got pretty close to it before it took off over the lake. Every time I've watched the heron fly off before it was silent. Today this one made a low squawking sound. I guess I made him mad.
I also saw another snapping turtle. This one was way up the path away from the water by the bottom of a tree. It was digging a hole to lay her eggs. I could see that she was swollen with eggs. I took a couple of pictures but I'm saving them to put on my photo blog tomorrow so you can see the turtle there if you care to.
I always see little birds flying around by the lake and they never seem to land anywhere. They remind me of bats as I watch them fly around. Someone told me that they were swallows. I'll have to go look them up and learn about them.

We had super last night at Red Robin. If it is your birthday, some of the staff come around and does some kind of clapping and saying something about it being your birthday. I never can hear what they actually say because of all the clapping going on. Anyway every so often we are there to witness it. Yesterday it happened EIGHT times. That must be some kind of record!!

This morning I cleaned my refrigerator. I have been keeping the milk in the door on that nice big shelf where the half gallon fits so nicely. I heard that is not the best place to keep the milk because the coldest part is at the back of the refrigerator. So I moved things around in there and that is what prompted me to clean the whole thing.

A while back I planted a cherry tomato plant and a bell pepper plant on the deck in pots. I just noticed that there is a little tomato starting to grow and the tiniest start of a pepper. I am so excited. I hope all goes well and we will actually get some of them to eat.

I am just going to hang around the house the rest of the afternoon and knit and read. Later when the sun goes away from the front of the house I'll go outside and water all the plants out there. A few of the plants that I planted have died but most are doing fine. I'll post photos when they get a bit bigger.

So that's it for today.
Enjoy your Friday!
Happyone :-)
