In the Garden: Who Will Win?

They are getting more daring these little squirrels.   

Every year we are in battle:  Us vs. them.  They love our tomatoes.  In the past, because of our abundant tomato garden, we didn't care as much if they were around and stole a tomato, or two, or three! But this year with our scarce fruits- it is on!  First our corn (they ate it all), now the tomatoes.  The plants out back in our garden aren't as easy to keep a watchful eye on, but those on the deck I do.  

It's watching me, I am watching it.

Who will win this time?

Simple pleasures :: Placeres sencillos

The simple things that are making me happy right now:
:: Las cosas sencillas que llenan mi corazón de alegría:


A nice big bowl of lactose free vanilla ice cream, topped with fresh strawberries, yummy cajeta and these cookies I grew up eating called Maria. Seriously, does it look delicious or what? Little R, A and I sure enjoyed every bit of it!
:: Un plato grandote lleno de nieve de vainilla (sin lactosa) con fresas frescas, cajeta y galletas Maria. Apoco no se ve delicioso? Nosotros si que disfrutamos hasta la ultima gota.


Picking fresh lettuce from my garden and more hydrangeas for the house.
:: Cosechando lechuga fresca de mi jardín y mas flores para la casa.

Watching my tomato plants fill with tomatoes. I can't wait to pick them!
:: Viendo a mis plantas de tomates llenarse de tomates. Ya quiero comer tomates!


And yes, braiding little A's hair.
:: Y claro, haciéndole mas trensitas a mi linda A.
