I had a lot of fun with the theme this month.  As usual I had tons of ideas but never got around to taking them.  The COLD weather kept me inside most of the time.  GO quick check out Corey and Jenty’s sites– I’m sure they found some fantastic photos that spoke to them of nostalgia.

My strawberries are really coming along. Squidge and I water them together and talk about how they’re growing and how they’ll soon turn red and juicy. Squidge is a bit of a strawberry-aholic. The girl will eat herself sick if I let her. I find this pretty funny as my mother will also eat herself sick on strawberries so I think she gets this from my Mom.

The other day we found one that was almost ready for picking. Oooh it was exciting thinking we would be nibbling on a strawberry we grew ourselves– nom nom!

Yesterday we went outside to check on our strawberries and we found this. NIBBLED and not by us!! We think the squirrels got to it. I’m a bit bummed out at this turn of events. BAH! I won’t let those Squirrels win *shaking my fist in the air*.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I’m also growing these bad boys and I’m keen on actually eating these. damn you SQUIRRELS!!

This afternoon after a quick internet search I’ll be going to the garden center to find some anti-squirrel devices.

Also THANK YOU so much for the love on my last post. I don’t know if I’m just hormonal but I got a tad bit weepy reading the comments. I’ve stuck to tracking everything I eat and that has been an eye opener. Snack and nibble hoooo boy do did I do that a lot. I’m hoping the key is just being aware what I put in my gob! I’m also trying to eat more protein and cut down on my carbs, not surprising I’m a big carb junkie! I will keep you all posted on how that goes. I’m also off to a local cemetery a bit later to take some photographs for this months Three Corners project.

I spent most of May looking for light and I finally decided on these.

Manchester is not exactly known for natural light but I think I did OK.  Please check out Jenty and Corey’s photos for May’s Three Corners.

I did a little walking around my neighboorhood looking for signs of spring.

then I found these forget-me-not’s in my back garden!

Don’t forget to check out Corey and Jenty’s photographs– they should have them up soon!

What I see when I walk around my neighborhood.

also from one of my walks.

Intersection I must cross on my way to the post office.

Jenty and Corey have posted their photos– go give them a look. We also have a flickr group- you can see some of the photos that didn’t make the cut.
