Sweet Tree, Sweet B.

 When you come home and find that your sweet husband, who has trimmed the golden medallion tree out front so that it won't interfere with your car, has placed a cut-off flowering branch in a vase for you... he's the best!

Saturday Lunch

 Lunch in Barrio Logan: mulitas, guacamole, and beer at Salud (yum and yum and yum).

 Lots of cool street art...



Fun!

Treasure

Look what I found today! A wild parrot feather! I want to do it justice with a better photo, but I just had to share my treasure.

Wading Pool

 Today I wish I'd had a fountain to dip into and soak my feet in (so HOT!).

Hummingbird Haven

 This darling little rufous hummingbird--see how teeny tiny he/she is?--hung out all day in our pomegranate tree, trying to beat the heat. So sweet!

Awe(Some)


One of the most magnificent rainbows I've ever seen (with a hint of another beside it)--and no rain, just a LOT of humidity. Awe inspiring...

Electric Blooms

 These flowers--growing on a fence surrounding an empty lot--look as if they are illuminating from within...

Nancy

 So cool to see such a large run of Nancy Drews at the thrift shop...

 A few were of my vintage (1970s), but there were also some from the 1950s and 1960s as well. Loved these so much when I was a kid...
I mean...Nancy with bagpipes!

Outer Space Flower

 I never cease to be amazed at passion fruit (Passiflora) blossoms. They are weirdly beautiful and look like they come from another planet.

Birds Birds Birds (in Our Fountain)

 I'm so happy to report that the little birds--these are finches--have returned to the fountain, at last! (It was not working for a while and I was afraid that they had abandoned me!)

 A dove dropped in...


 Action shots...

 The one on the right cracks me up!


 A foursome...
Love. Them!

Yermy

Check out this goodness: this is an oven pancake with kale and mushroom topping: it's like a great big Yorkshire pudding. So. Yum! (I did not make this--my very own Top Chef B. did.)

Love it! So delightfully analogue!

 Love these girls...they live at the Mission Hills Nursery.

Dahlia Awe

How awesome is this beauty? Bloom as big as my hand...I wish it were mine, but it was at the nursery. Love!

Action!

 One SKWERL a-leapin' ...

(Oh, Tallulah Mae, thinking about you--she would have gone ballistic!)

Fried Egg

 This is a matilija poppy, also known as the fried egg plant, for obvious reasons. So pretty!
