• Hot Summer Day

  Or normal weather for this time of year.  Maybe a little above average.  94 with a hot west wind.  Good motivation for going to adult swim. The water was a tad cool, but once past the initial shock, very pleasant swimming. 

  Last night it stayed humid and didn’t cool off as much.  I looked at the stars and could only find the big dipper.  In the winter I can usually spot Orion, but last night he was missing.  Now that all the trees have leafed out, there is less visible sky to star gaze.

  It was last call for lettuce this morning.  I got enough for a salad tonight but the remaining plants are history.  

  This is the house number that is my inspiration for  the mailbox.  The colors aren’t showing quite right…the number (1) is actually a deep cobalt blue.  I haven’t figured out how to make the B raised on the front of the mailbox, so I started working on the top this afternoon. Tomorrow I plan to do the green leaves and the red flowers in the corner.
