Fruit Radar

I sometimes wonder what superpower I would get bit by a radioactive bug for that would make having many hobbies easier/ever-more-fun.

Obviously freezing time is up there but that's almost too standard (hobby superpower snob already, uh oh). Then there's having lots of arms for multi tasking, which could be super useful. Or being able to fly, because that would help with life just in general. 

I think I would want a superpower that was more specific though, like being able to insta-chop anything from diced to minced in a second. Or having progressive polarized eye balls so you can see in the bright sunlight while gardening and in the dark while stargazing. Or having a ripe fruit radar that goes off in your head whenever you're near can-able berries. Yah. Definitely something like that. I mean, they would totally be considered "lesser" superpowers and I would be named something lame like Focus Face (ability to make any camera, smartphone or other, focus on the actual thing you want to take a picture of, macro or micro - filters not included). But still. Superpower-ed hobbyist!

Oh gad. I just thought, what the hell kind of radioactive bug would give a person the power to teleport to an alpaca farm that has a double function as a dairy...?

Better to stick with the serum storyline.

The Wait

The wait is nearly over! 

My plant babies have been behaving very well and their fruit babies are ripening! Yay! Gardening experiment win! 37 floors in the air cannot deter this girl's green thumbs. (Even if I had to move my 5 foot tall tomato plants inside because of a wind storm last week.... Bring it Urban Gardening Challenges!)

It's sad to know I will out live them... But their next year brothers and sisters will hear about the wondrous tales of gardening on a highrise balcony. Hopefully by then I'll finally stop personifying my plants ....lol. Probably not.

Canada's Bday and Patio Parties and Viral Invaders

Whooooosh!

Hai Time!

Bye Time!

Another couple weeks gone! 

It's been a fun summer so far! Enjoying the weather by beering and patio partying!

(Of course, it's all fun and games until summer cold season makes an entrance, drumming its gorilla-like call, scaring away any semblance of an immune system that may have survived spring cold season.)

Regardless though. I've got some baking and cooking posts coming up! And also canning has Begun! 

Yay!!!
