Saturday ReView: Zoodle Squash Scampi & Portulaca Tower Update with Barbie

I wanted to mention a very tasty way to enjoy zucchini and summer squash while the gardens are still producing... This Zoodle Scampi is a great side dish that goes well with everything from grilled meat to rotisserie chicken. It cooks up quickly and is bursting with big garlicy flavor:@)

Did you hear the news? There's a new summer theme park in my Barbie world, Flamingo Mountain:@) Instead of a traditional climbing wall, the dolls get to scale the side of a large planter filled with gorgeous brightly colored portulaca! Don't let the beauty of the flowers fool you folks, Barbie says it's quite a workout...

The mountain seemed huge and while the first three levels were a breeze,
now it's not so easy...

But this was Barbie's summer adventure and she was determined to get to the top...

The sun kept going in and out, providing a much needed break from the heat.
Taking time to smell the flowers and catch her breath...

The flamingo was within sight...

Every muscle ached, but,
Oh-so-close...
(Is that bird taunting her???)

And the prize at the end of the journey?

Your picture with the flamingo...
Really??? That's it???

Well, and bragging rights of course😎

We here at PIM encourage everyone to chase their dreams...
No matter how challenging!

🌺Make something just for fun and have a happy day😉
