Our local farmers' market was open yesterday and we made out usual trip down there for fresh veggies and fish. Local strawberries are in and the one in the photo looks like triplets really. They are sweet and delicious. We have a few in the garden as well.
About eight hours were spent yesterday and today working on the underground sprinkler system that was here when we bought the house. As usual in the spring when we turn them back on, there are problems with leaks and direction. Anne likes to "fix" things. so I do the manual labor of digging and she tries to repair these things. I am now looking up professional help since we have at least three exposed and little hope of a fix.
The grass pollen count is soaring on this beautiful, just right 75 degree day, so I have sneezed about 100 times, despite medication, which makes me want to stay in the house.
I hope that all you myLotters, near and far are having a great weekend. I know that in some places, it is Monday already, so have a great day there too.

Oh sorry about that weather. We will be begging for rain in a month or two when the fire season starts. I am surprised that you never ran across strawberries in your travels.

I can remember my mother saying, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions, son."
That was a really odd thing to say, but she was an older Baptist woman.

Glad to hear that you had a good weekend. The strawberry looks delicious. There was no holiday here but it was a warm and sunny weekend. Hope the rest of your week will be great.

It costs a lot more to farm organically (if they are).

We bought strawberries today at Aldi. I have not made it to the farmers market an hour away.

It is always nice to go to the farmers market. Strawberries are so good when they are in season. Enjoy.
