The day after

As the weatherman promised, it is a warm sunny day here in Raleigh. Went out for a walk with Kerbi and the only signs of the storm I could see were leaves and twigs strewn all over the place. No apparent damage done to our home thank goodness









More good news. Charlotte is still here! I went to our rose garden at the side of the house to see if I could spot her and there she was. She has built her web on a rose bush this time. Currently her web is about one and a half feet wide. If it is anything like her last one, it will expand rapidly.
Welcome back Charlotte.



Oh this day keeps getting better. We didn't have any luck with the new tomatoes we planted this year (the ones we planted 6 years ago are still going strong) but I did notice something orange growing. Bent down and was excited to see it was a Habanero. Yippee.... you know where that is going...... into our chocolates. That is so cool. We have used pears and herbs from our garden in our chocolates and now we can use our own Habaneros. .......... Sweet!

I'm so stoked about the Habanero.

Yes it is great Charlotte is still around. Hopefully she still here at Halloween. Make the house look more authentic.
