Happy Bean, And Tomatoes Growing

Hasn’t the rain been lovely, lately?
We haven’t had any hail, so the garden’s growing beautifully – the tomatoes are taking over!

I hadn’t noticed how large they were getting… very different to when they first went in!

Lots of flowers – I’m looking forward to homegrown tomatoes, with avocado and onion on toast 😉

Yesterday I was finally able to take littlest bean to McDonalds – he has had a voucher for a free Happy Meal for a while now, but we hadn’t been able to redeem it until yesterday. He had a lovely lunch, chatted away, played in the play area (briefly) and even got to see Grandma (unexpectedly) at the nearby shop.
A very happy bean!

The coming storm, later in the afternoon, provided the opportunity to catch up with neighbours, who were outside checking out the weather… from the new puppy across the way, to the two little girls at the next house, who “love playing in the rain”, just had to show us how they could do handstands and forward rolls, and wanted to know all about our herbs and what they were for..
…and then it was time for tea, bedtime.. and the cool of the rain, rolling in..
