sunflowers

The sunflowers have finally started to bloom. So i took a picture for you, Catherine.

I made this arrangement with whatever was at hand. I was suprised it turned out pretty because really all the colors clash. This is the first time i cut FLOWERS from my GARDEN, except when i brought roses to my mom. But it is too hot to go outside to look at them!


The heat is doing wonders for the tomatoes, though. Around here it is tomatoes for dinner every night! Yes!

oh wow! I love the sunflowers. I must get some for myself for next summer. (But what did you do...go outside in the dark to take that picture?)

Yes, actually. It was nearly 9 pm. I did not have time to go out before then, for several days. Lately i am out around 10 pm searching for tomatoes with a flashlight in the dark, so dh and i can eat dinner. I am not kidding about crazy around here ;)

Beautiful flowers! What a great feeling to go out to the garden and be able to pick a bouquet! My tomatoes are just starting to ripen. Lots of cherry tomatoes, and 2 or 3 of the heirloom varieties so far.
