Well, we got behind on fees from the HOA, so we're temporarily banned from the pool (the HOA Pres is literally a Karen...but it's still our fault)...just in time for a bit of hot weather...but we're compensating by going to the beach tomorrow...won't get in the water (too cold and too long a walk from parking)...but we heard about a really good casual restaurant with a view to try https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-birds-cafe-bodega-bay

and we may stop at the Wild Flour (woodfired) Bakery for some of the fougasse that Baron Igor loves...it's not cheap...but really special...and in limited lots each day...https://wildflourbread.com/

We finally got our patio table put up a couple days ago...it's a perfect size for a patio or small balcony...or a studio/dorm...and folds/rolls up into a carry bag you sling over your shoulder...not heavy...even for me...and once you figure it out, it's very easy to put together (less than 10 minutes) and take apart (less than 5 minutes)...and looks more stylish and urban than you might think...it looks like wood...but it's aluminum...strung like a stretch blind...

i got ours on clearance at Walmart...and can't find it there now...but here it is on ebay...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/176388073210?itmmeta=01HZDYG2D3G7QR1E2TN4FKKAVZ&hash=item29118c66fa:g:C~gAAOSwuyFmFkYj&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4OpbJRclXy31%2Fk5X42YN0ZDvrSqVfb1FVNpo0zTJ2pp%2BLjpvfP%2Btv6GJ85Sc43sS0eLs3GHM5tU9WOdhwyIGGT%2FKAgqaeujlhv9CobcmJaCVMCdRZqE5whTE04BX%2FWjtx%2F1eLgQZ%2FDOq6sf4j%2BfjHOPxKXz1ncfyf%2BqIIJFBCHlEguHqI%2FhaJUUFGhLqbTUKtQHKfH9etLVZeRgA94fK4odx85jX%2Fi6JO4S08sCk1qcYzvq%2BFujACPVBbBMWvNamjXIrrsDBr8O8yTpXuP1GC4Wp7QY50Hoccu7TWuy4R1Aq%7Ctkp%3ABFBM0qbAvvtj

i also want to tell you about a dip i found at Walmart...Marketside Smokehouse Burnt Ends Cream Cheese Dip...a little spice and sweetness from the BBQ sauce...and minced beef brisket...really tasty...

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Marketside-Smokehouse-Burnt-Ends-Dip-12-oz-Refrigerated-Tub-1-Unit-per-Pack/778724908?athbdg=L1100&from=/searc

we're finally getting the raised planting tables put together (site now closed)...but it's almost too late to put in tomatoes and peppers...certainly not from the seeds i bought...but...one does what one can with what one has (which is why my totem is a sloth...they're not lazy...they just don't have much energy and do the best they can...like only going down a tree to poop once a week)...

BaronIgor and i are still in discussions about whether to have pea gravel delivered or get our own...and then there's potting soil...

i have some solar "flowers" and other lights to put in a bed in the back yard...but it's so hard that we'll have to drown the bed in order to push the pipes in...i think we're going to spend a lot more time out there in the afternoons and evenings...

   That table looks pretty nice ...just remember not to lean on it for support when getting up *wink*

   Setting a couple of potted plants in the planter boxes is a good idea for this year ... see how they do in that location before filling them with soil.

   I like cait~'s idea of a kiddie pool for the feetsies!

   Sounds like you've been busy getting ready for Summer. Over here I'd buy young tomato or pepper plants to pot on, rather than seed. Not too expensive if you don't need many. Can you get them over there?

   Sounds like things are progressing nicely. Enjoy your time outdoors to the fullest. It's already too humid here for the most part.
