So Much Beauty ~ Skywatch Friday

I started the day with clear blue skies as in the first photo.

Before night fell, I went to the community garden and was there for a short after doing this and that around the home. Most of the people in the park were dog owners;  taking Fido out for their evening business. Other patrons were clearly reluctant to leave and lingered on to talk or play the guitar and sing.  I enjoyed a mini conference while relaxing nearby to the songstress.






I'd gone to the garden for a bit of weeding and came home with a nice amount of strawberries. Unbeknownst to me my DH had already weeded so I was relieved of my responsibility.  The strawberries were definitely a lot tastier than most purchased at the stores but they were also a lot dirtier. You know you can't really wash berries because they spoil more quickly once moisture gets on them..  I washed and used about half of them right away in a smoothie right away and froze the other half.


Earlier in the day I was doing a whole lot of small jobs that just never seem to get done when there are a mountain of daily, larger chores to do.  I always feel accomplished when I manage to clear away some of the smaller tasks.

I wound all the large skeins of yarn into balls

I also got rid of a lot of packaging materials.

Earlier in the week I captured these beautiful skies.





Thanks so much for stopping by my Skywatch Friday post for this week. Have a wonderful weekend.

  1. You're so right about the washing of berries. People just don't get that. (You can wash ahead a bit if -- and only if -- you dry them on paper towel (all sides). They don't last as long but you can get a day or so out of them that way if they are good berries.

  4. I love your beautiful pink skies. I also love fresh strawberries and yes they do go bad quickly. When I was a kid my parents had a strawberry patch and I was in heaven.
