Summer Afternoon




 It is hot here. School is starting for my daughter. She will be teaching 6th grade. Wishing her all the best!  We start next Monday. I am looking forward to seeing everyone.  It is hard to get back in the routine though.  
Oh well, time flies so fast soon it will be Halloween. 🎃
I have a new poem to share tomorrow.  
Have a great Monday!!!

Quick Jaunt Through the Garden

Vacation ends in a week. I am sad, but glad too. I will miss being home. 

Today I grabbed some pictures of the of the angel garden. 





I am making sourdough rolls for dinner and trying something new.  If it turns out I will share pictures. 
I have seen a lot of people add inclusions to their dough. One idea was grating frozen bimutter and folding it in before forming rolls or bread loaf. So that sounded yummy to me. Butter is always yummy right?😋
I will let you know how yummy it actually is. 
The veggie garden is producing wheelbarrow of stuff. 40 pound watermelons and enough cantaloupe to supply the oncology staff. It has been a great gardening year. 
I hope you enjoy your Sunday.

New Plant

 I was at Home Depot on Monday and saw these Black Mamba Begonias.

I have wanted one for a year. I have not seen any for sale. Last year when I was getting my car smogged they had a hue one in the waiting room I was at. It was gorgeous.  I hope mine will do well and get big some day. 

House plants are fun and I enjoy trying new ones. Some are harder then others, but they keep me busy.  If you like begonias then I recommend this one. It doubles as a Halloween plant. 😁🎃  I know it is July, but I am already dreaming of Fall.
