Here Comes the Sun
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I say it’s all right Little darling, it’s been a long cold lonely winter Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been here Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I say it’s all right Little darling, the smiles returning to their faces Little darling, it seems like it’s years since it’s been here Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I say it’s all right ~ George Harrison

No Relief In Site
No rain for weeks…..no relief in site. The plants are suffering. Just when I thought it was hopeless to keep watering each day… I noticed this little sunflower opening up when I got home today. They are still fighting…….so I will keep watering. For now…….

Well……
Remember this…..my beautiful, almost ripe tomato? The one I was so patiently waiting to fully ripen so I could enjoy tomato-ey goodness….my very first ripe tomato of the season. I could taste it…..it was going to be perfect. So I head outside to get my little red beauty….my perfectly ripened tasty wonder. I reach down to pluck it off the vine and feel something not quite right on the back side…..so I turn it around and…… ……something beat me to it!!!!! 😡 And that just sucks.

Wednesday Updates
Sunflower Update The Lemon Queen sunflower seeds are growing like weeds. While it is difficult to tell from this photo, they are maybe 4 inches tall and doing well. I haven’t been able to get a decent ground level image. Sadly, I don’t have a good progress report on the Chocolate sunflower seeds. There is what appears to be some activity in the area they were planted, but I can’t be sure yet. Kaniki Kaniki, Guardian of the Garden, was having a difficult time seeing….and he was feeling a bit claustrophobic. I could hear his heavy sighs each time I walked out in the backyard so I decided to move him to a new home…

A Good Start
The Lemon Queen sunflowers are off to a good start. Unfortunately, I’m not seeing any activity around the chocolate sunflower area…..I’m still hopeful!

It’s That Time Again
If you have been visiting here for a while, you may remember I participated in The Great Sunflower Project last year. In case you haven’t, the idea behind this project is by San Francisco State University is to gather data on urban, rural and suburban bee populations. To participate, plant a certain type of sunflower plant and count the bees that visit during a specific amount of time. I know…..yawn ~ how exciting. But actually, it isn’t so bad. Take a cold beverage and sit outside while you view and count ~ I can think of worse way to spend a day. 🙂 Because of increased participation, they have asked that you purchase your seeds…

Kaniki ~ Guardian of the Garden
This is Kaniki….he is my Guardian of the Garden. He sits by the tree day in and day out….watching. Recently, I thought Kaniki could use a little shade…….so I picked him up a mushroom. Kaniki said life is good…he is much happier now. 🙂

Scenes From My Backyard
I sat in my little backyard yesterday for a bit. I had lots to do….but it was a nice morning, and I decided to sit for a little while and take some practice shots. I had filled the bird feeders and sat quietly in a corner of the yard….if you feed them, they will come. 🙂 This little guy was quite curious….almost to ask why I wasn’t leaving….you filled the bird feeders, time to leave human…. I don’t know the name of the tree this Blue Jay is sitting in, but I loved how the the little seed pods added a little decoration to the background. Those seed…
