Cold Fish Supper & Black Swallowtail Butterfies

Quarantine supper tonite...  Live from NYC...
Friday night we were going to have a cold fish supper...  then chili happened...  thought we’d have it Sunday after our visit with Mom...  however Saturday night our neighbor had a bbq and celebrated his name day...   delicious Greek food gifted to us made for a simple Sunday night supper...  still hadn’t had our cold fish supper...  sooooo....

Tonite we finally enjoyed...  Italian tuna in olive oil, sardines, red cabbage slaw, potato salad with peas and corn (thanks Danicha  )boiled eggs with mayo and anchovies, garden tomatoes and radishes, cucumber, endive leaves, romaine and basil...  the hubs and I shared a toasted whole wheat bagel and the last of a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc...

The weather was delightful through the day...  temps in the low 80’s...  humidity at comfortable levels...  all the greenhouse babies healthy & growing...  we had a magnificent visitor in the garden today...  a black swallowtail butterfly...  I’m glad I got to see her since she ate ALL my parsley...   drying her wings on the lavender stems...  she rested for a while then flew off...  probably to visit another garden...  did you know butterflies taste with their feet?

By 8:30pm the skies opened up and a deluge arrived complete with thunder and lightening...  spectacular!  Don’t you just love rainstorms?

The painters have completed phase 4...  the shakes are stained and painted a lovely dark grey...  the roof line moldings are painted white...  tomorrow begins the painting of the planks bright white in an eggshell finish...  I must say their work quality is top notch...  so very pleased thus far...

Florida...  Georgia...  Arizona...  Texas...  California...  North Carolina...   Tennessee...  Illinois...  Ohio...  we feel your pain here in the Big Apple...  we were a COVID hot spot just 90 days ago...  Indiana...  Missouri...  South Carolina...  Michigan...  Wisconsin...  170,000 lost souls...  170,000 devastated families...   PLEASE wear a mask...  WASH those hands...  quarantine fatigue wears us down... makes us overconfident... stay safe💞😷
How was your day?   What’s on your plate?   Thoughts?
