as the sun sets...

view from the kitchen window

doing work at the dining room table 

House plants that I have managed to keep alive...for now (except one)  

the poor Orchid...

this one will look like the top of a pineapple..but really tall (thought it was perfect for the beach feel of the bedroom) 

my favorite on the mantel 

these are not my favorite things, i much prefer butterflies, but i was impressed how well this guy held on for so long onto the window outside battling the wind. 

sunset last night during my VERY hot (104 degree) run 

At the Root for lunch last Sunday 

 Inside a cafe to cool off from a hot afternoon 

This is the first tomato I have grown! It looks like a fine Cherokee tomato until you see it from a different view......

I am not sure why it split like this....

took some of the patients on a hike today and a few of them begged me to take a photo of this dragonfly cause it was so beautiful :)
