Flooded

 It has been raining almost non stop for the last week or so down on Matron's plot.  Everything is growing and growing and the rhubarb is in seventh heaven.  The trouble is that it's flooded and I can't get down to the greenhouse to plant my pumpkin and squash seeds.

Well, everything has come full circle and I cut up my last Queensland Blue squash today.  These fantastic Winter squash have lasted right through the Winter just sat on a table in the living room.  I noticed just a bit of deterioration at the base so decided it was time to use it. 

 Sunday lunch, with oven roasted Queensland Blue squash!  IN APRIL!  what a keeper!
 

Meanwhile, Leo was so tired after licking the gravy off our plates that he lay on the sofa and went to sleep!

He thanks you all for your best wishes.  He is making excellent progress!  Had a little lump removed and still has stitches in.  Blood tests showed us that he is an amazingly healthy dog!  The vet also complimented him on his trim waistline!  Stitches out on Friday!
