It’s my “big” tomato! So big it bent the branch all the way to the ground and is currently being propped up by a chair because I keep forgetting to buy the “fencing” that goes around tomato plants.

This verbena bloom is bright!

I called the mechanic yesterday before closing to check on the status of my car and he said someone would call me back but someone never did. It’s unusual for them to not call me all day long and let me know what’s going on with my car.

So, here I am stuck at home again today sans car. Talk about annoying. I need to go to the post office! I sold two pairs of pettipants this week! Woo hoo!

The gorgeous morning glory. I’ve only seen it open once–it’s been overcast the last couple of days. Say, aren’t morning glory seeds hallucinogenic? I seem to recall that from my former days of drug research.

The weather is supposed to warm up this weekend and I really really really REALLY want to go camping. August and early September is the best time to do it!

I didn’t expect the zinnia to produce only one, large bloom. Flowers–so unpredictable.

I like the larkspur. Very delicate and colorful.

The weather on Monday was perrrrfect–clear and about 84 degrees. I took the dogs for a walk and felt ripples of happiness all over my body–what a huge difference from struggling to breathe in the 100 degree Boise heat, yikes!

Also: coffee granitas are just about the best thing in the world on a hot day. Obsessed.

Maybe I should paint today, since I’m stuck at home. Finally finish up that diptych? Sounds good.
