A snapdragon bloom had fallen off.
I picked it up, played with it - flower puppet fun.
Then, attached it to the plant it fell off from. It looks like it's eating its family 😅
(Caveat: I don't endorse eating your family)

Mom & I picked our first homegrown #strawberries of 2026. Missing from photo are the 22 fruits we ate in yard, while picking them 🍓 They're really sweet & delicious. These are our native strawberries. Our June everbearing ones are about 2-3 times the size of these smaller, native strawberries. The native strawberries are smaller but their taste is much sweeter.

I finished my gardening tasks just before raindrops came. Got most of my thinning done. Got all the cucumbers & cantaloupe seedlings repotted. Transplanted more salad greens & peas.

Added my perlite/vermiculite mixture & mixed it deep into soil in pots before transplanting/repotting. I scattered some over my soil remediation areas too.

Time to rest a bit before dinner.

From yesterday. The smallest goat is the toughest one. It kept pushing bigger goats off the table - which it's claimed for itself 🐐 This vid shows it shoving a bigger goat off. It didn't let any other goat share the table - every attempt was met with shoving defense defiance 😅
You can meet some goats & chickens at Island View Farm (not a petting farm).
