This Is Why I Never Get Anything Done

The Inside.

The house is ready, you can come visit now.

Cats In The Window

This is how my cats have a meeting of the minds.

Window Seat

Summer Nights

This is what my girls like to do in the evenings when it's not so hot outside.

The Grass

This is why we love Bianca.
Because she does cute stuff like this. Nawngh.

Summer Garden

The heat is on, and the garden is getting tall! These photos are a few weeks old, I'm posting them so you all can see how it grows. I have a set of more recent photos to post soon. The Sweet Gentleman Corn, above, is twice as tall now. This may be our first successful year for corn.
Heat loving Black-eyed Pea.
Cosmos, sunflowers, and tomato growing on the patio.
Chamomile.
Aria lounging in the side yard. Buffalo grass is starting to sprout.

The patio.
Perennial Shasta Daisy has finally bloomed!
California Giants Zinnia.
A bunch of very tasty yellow tomatoes.
A thicket of Seashell Cosmos.
Four O'clock Marvel of Peru thriving in the side yard.
The bees love Borage.
Zinnia and Lemongrass.
Biennial Indian Spring Hollyhocks. This is the first that has survived long enough to bloom for me; I'm very pleased!

By the time I got the front cleaned up it was too late to plant a whole lot, however, some nice larkspurs came up by the mailbox.
