Afterwards we ate dinner. Jilda had picked some fresh flowers in the garden to go along with the fresh green beans and tomatoes. We had a roasted chicken stuffed with fresh basil, rosemary, and thyme. She also whipped up one of my favorite dishes. It's small bundles of green beans wrapped with lean bacon and baked in the oven. She whipped up some of her special batches of mashed potatoes. We had a type of bread that looks like French bread, but it was smaller in diameter.
She poured out small dishes of olive oil with fresh herbs.
They haven't visited in some time and while we ate, we saw the humming birds feeding on the flowers on the deck, a young rabbit hopped up into the back yard and looking the place over. Our peeps made an appearance and before we finish with dinner, a young deer ambled up to the apple tree to check out the crop. It was a good day for watching critters.
For desert we had brownie and homemade ice cream. After we finished and we were sitting on the couch listening to music and talking, she announced that she was moving in.
We sent them home with tomatoes, okra, and other goodies. If we keep this up, we'll have to build additional rooms on our house.
