It's Tuesday, Ketchup Day

 

How was your weekend and start to your week?

The HH is having back surgery in December. So this weekend we took the first step towards laying in supplies. We went into the foothills and got a case of wine. 😂

Here's a few, and I emphasize few, pics from the winery.

There's a rosebush planted at the beginning of each row of  grapes.

 This is a chandelier in the center of the gift/wine shop. It was quite pretty.

AND

The leaves are starting to turn.

AND

A bumble bee in the garden.

AND

Last year I got cherry tomatoes from the mulch pile. This year taters;)

AND

The HH got me the most excellent gift. A wearable heating pad for neck, shoulders and back. I feel like a viking warrior in it:)

AND

From Colorado

Thank you, Julie.

Have a great week, friends.
 

It's Ketch-Up Day

 

Did the moms and caregivers out there have a wonderful weekend? I sure hope so.

The HH and I went to Shelton Vineyards for dinner. They had a special Mother's Day Selection.  It started with either a salad, soup, or another selection they had listed. Fried Tortellini, maybe? I chose the salad. The croutons were hands down the best I've ever had.

For the main course I went with the vegetarian option and the HH got Mai Mai. And yes I did end up bringing a box home, since my plate was overflowing;)

And.....I brought most of my dessert home too:) The HH had half of his cheesecake finished before I managed to snap a pic of it:)

And on our way out the door, the ladies were given a rose and a little box of macarons. 

This is a picture of the vineyards. There's a rose bush at the beginning of each row.  The roses are blooming and are so pretty.

AND

I saw this hydrangea at Home Depot. You can't really tell from my picture but the flower is huge. It's the biggest hydrangea that I've ever seen. It was probably three times larger than my hand and I don't have small hands.

AND

The Amaryllis is blooming.

  AND last but not least, if you have an opportunity check out this trailer. It is just amazing. It's about a wild fish and the unusual friend he made.

So what did you do this weekend? Ever seen a huge hydrangea? A friendly bass?

It's Ketch-up Day

 How are you, Blogger Buds? Did the mom's out there have a lovely Sunday? 

When it's a holiday and we aren't seeing the kids, my go to place is Shelton Vineyards. It's pretty, peaceful and has great food. They had a special menu for Mother's Day. Interestingly, they didn't have a vegetarian option listed but did have one ready for anyone who wanted it. Beluga lentils over cubed sweet potatoes. It was very good. They also had a singer/guitarist performing outside.

Frank always takes time to smell the flowers...and lay under them too:)

 

Did you and yours have a good Mother's Day? Did you stop and smell the roses?

It's Tuesday

Greetings, Blogger Buds.

Sunday Weather

My weather app called this rain, but those drops were huge, fluffy and white. AND it was five degrees above freezing. What the????

 Later

We went to the Shelton Vineyards for a day-early Valentine's lunch.

 The view from our table. Note the vineyards in the background.

Pretty, innit?
