Enjoying the final days (or weeks) of pregnancy before the baby comes, and now also enjoying some new colors in the front yard.

The scarlet flax didn’t return in the heat bed (sprouts lost in the frost) but survived up by the house.

I have been waiting and waiting for these cosmos to open…and more that they have? Yeah, those aren’t cosmos…did I sow larkspur? Maybe?

I did plant some ranunculus bulbs! I’ve tried to get these suckers to grow for more than three years now, and finally -finally! I found a spot that suits them.

My only gardening plans for the next month or three consist of getting the tomatoes out of their overgrown starter pots and into pots they could spend the whole season in if necessary, since we’re moving sometime in the next few months. It may just be a tomatoes-at-the-farmers-market year, we’ll see.

Looking out the open window through the screen to the sown tomatoes, peppers, and pecans, with whom the sage, hyssop, and raspberry are kind enough to share the sunshine.

Some homegrown onions, garlic, and rosemary lend their flavor to carrots, a potato, and my first attempt at pheasant.

Happy New Year!

Just sitting in a tree outside the gym waiting for DH to finish up.

Hope there are happy lazy days (or at least stolen moments like this one) on occasion in your lives this summer.
