Outside My Window ~ 5.15.11
Outside my window…is a Sunday that didn’t quite know what it wanted to do. Cloudy….rain….sun….cloudy….more rain….more sun. Currently, at 8:00 p.m., we are at 72°F with cloudy skies…there may even be a few rain drops falling as I sit here. Looks like we have had a little over a quarter inch of rain in the past 24 hours ~ I think most of that fell last night during some storms that moved through our area. When I went to bed it was raining quite hard with lots of lightening and thunder. It is quite humid outside right now, 78%…and if you are doing any type of activity out there right now, you know it.

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.

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…

Outside My Window ~ 7.12.09
Outside My Window…actually, I am sitting on my back patio ‘outside my window’……errr, sliding glass doors. I have finished my 2.25 run on this beautiful, 78 degree, fairly muggy morning. And oh yes, it was hot when I was running. As I said, I am now in my tiny backyard enjoying a cup of blackberry sage iced tea (in my cool Catalina Island cup ~ ahhhh, Avalon ~ thanks Doo!) as I cool down. I thought “why not” sit out here and do my thing because after the run this morning, it actually feels nice and cool sitting here. 🙂 I am thinking…why a couple of my tomato leaves on…
