A beautiful day and a pleasent surprise

 Today was the official opening day of the blog, and I was schedule tomorrow to put another post. Yes .. one of my goals is to be a little more organized :)

But ...
Today is a holiday in Portugal, labor day ... and to celebrate it I and my son went to work in the garden.

We are very proud of the latest developments, because with the rain this spring, it seemed that nothing was going to happen in the garden, just a lake.
but we already have some biologic vegetables, ready to eat, and others growing.

 tomato

lettuce

more lettuce

 mint

coriander

chives

 another Japanese type of lettuce, which I missed the name

rosemary

strawberries

And ... as the birds in the area, beautiful and friendly, ate all the ripe strawberries.

We had to make a scarecrow, and  is very sexy lady ... yes, because here we are a democracy, but the woman commands a little more ... :) ...for now ....

And we were exhausted, especially Buba, the dog, who got tired of making holes ... where it was not supposed to.

When we got back I had a pleasant email waiting for me.
Estella, our great friend and captain of europeanstreetteam, who was restless, as well as  Esther, her mother, and  organized the whole event raffles, to help me in the difficult time that I spent, and I'll never have words to thank ALL those who participated.

so ... Estela bought me some beads, and I can only thank the MUCH they had done,  with my work, and I offered them with all my heart, my one pieces.

Estella  took some pictures and put on her blog.

Estella is beautiful and I loved to see her with  my necklace :)

I feel so grateful :)

Thank you soooooooooo much!
