<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">They are very tame and one has to watch for them when driving - we've seen as many as a dozen in our yard - grazing about on the lawn or taking a rest. They are one of the reasons I only garden on the deck - we love seeing them, but don't want them to eat up all the flowers and vegetables we grow.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">There is a small plot that is full of beautiful Irises that we love to visit. It sits in the middle of large blueberry fields - you can go there and choose the ones you want to purchase and in the Autumn you will pick up your order.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">I've only ridden a horse one time - and it decided to lie down against a bank and my leg got painfully squished - have you ever ridden a horse?

<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">Since the lockdown we've not been anywhere - except Don goes to do the grocery pick-up about every three weeks - and we've taken some nice rides - otherwise it is stay at home - and we've been enjoying it a lot. Don is working full time from home, it is good to have him here every day.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">I decided that since we couldn't go to the nursery to get plants for the deck, that I would plant some seeds. Some I ordered from ebay - so many choices and good prices - non-gmo and organic seeds easily available. Some are seeds I've had for several to many years - some from even before we moved to Washington in 2001. But everything sprouted really well - and it seems these plants are growing far better and much faster than the plants I used to buy from the nursery.</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large; text-align: center;"> </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho1K3A1V6ESENqoH6tKtjz4EAqsfRx1hvjeN4I8hjJ_0D6cAe6XFD9zYP6iPWDzhaMGrNh9DQxP6fVeXGie6Z8Jp0WH31mkecDELfJ-gEVOgOXdjtGJuOt5kLklsN92LV1DcsoVfUYhSzm/s1600/P+TOMATO+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-size: xx-large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1086" data-original-width="1600" height="434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho1K3A1V6ESENqoH6tKtjz4EAqsfRx1hvjeN4I8hjJ_0D6cAe6XFD9zYP6iPWDzhaMGrNh9DQxP6fVeXGie6Z8Jp0WH31mkecDELfJ-gEVOgOXdjtGJuOt5kLklsN92LV1DcsoVfUYhSzm/s640/P+TOMATO+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">Taking a nice ride is one of the things we can still enjoy during these trying times - we do have masks and gloves at the ready, in case there is an emergency - but so far it has just been fun - and beautiful. Just wanted to show you some of the pretties that we've seen on our rides.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"> These pretty hollyhocks were growing in a little patch alongside the road - near farm fields - must have been planted by some friendly birds - no other garden or flowers in sight. I love the pale color!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"> I've planted a few vegetables this year - along with the flowers I always grow on our deck. The first harvest of lettuce was enough for a dinner of tacos.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">The fresh taste of newly picked lettuce just can't be beat.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">I also planted cherry tomatoes - Yellow Pear Tomatoes, two kinds of cucumbers and chives. No - the cherry tomatoes on those tacos are not from my plants - the are still growing and it will be a while before we get a harvest.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">We did have some chives the other day in our salads - wonderful.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">A lovely Mothers' Day gift from our oldest daughter and her family. It is a subtropical plant and has to be overwintered indoors in our climate. It has wonderful big flowers - and such interesting buds. And can grow to ten feet - I'm going to try and train it along the deck railing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">It sits on the deck and I can see it from my chair in the living room - the hummingbirds love it, but I've not been quick enough to get a picture of them at the flowers yet, but I shall.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">I had never heard of this plant before - but I'm so happy to have one. Have you seen or grown one before?</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">We have a pair of hummingbirds that are nesting high up in a tree. Every day the male comes out and sits on a leafless branch. I spotted him from our deck across the street and half a block away.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"> A close up - as close up as I could get from that distance - of our sweet hummingbird on his branch.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">These two trees are 40 or 50 feet tall, the nest seems to be in the tree on the right - near the top. That is where we see the hummingbird flying in and out for most of the day. I'm so happy I spotted him on the branch and now can watch him every day. I tried close ups of the tree, but the nests are so tiny I couldn't make out anything that seemed to be a nest.</span></div>
