Sunny Day, Misty Day

felis_lupusJ is racing in NH this weekend, again, so it's just me and the apartment.
Yesterday was brilliantly sunny, and quite warm. The little American Lady butterfly spent a while posing for me in the garden, which was nice. Photos of how the garden is coming along are here, of course. 'Persian Market' Daylily is finally blooming, beautifully. I think I am going to have to divide that this fall. It's just getting enormous. Still waiting patiently for 'Bela Lugosi' to blossom. A few more shots of the butterfly, though it was darn difficult to get it with its wings open... silly little brushfoots, resting closed.
Saw Harry Potter 6 last night with Abbey. Definitely a Good Plan, was definitely also a Good Plan to not read the book right before watching the movie, which was excellent. It's really neat, having the same actors/actresses for all the kids, watching them grow up. :)
Rainy and misty this morning. Just returned from the Farmer's Market. The spoils: One Attar of Rose scented geranium and a teeny tiny pot of White Sage, from the same fellow I got my cukes and tomato from. I enjoy talking with him. I need to get some more potting soil, too... got to repot some chives for mom, use that empty pot for the white sage, I think, and find someplace for the mint from the "old country" that was a gift from a customer. Which "old country", I'm not sure, but it smells lovely. Pulled the peas out today too; they were done. All yellowy. This gives room for the cucumbers to climb up the trellis, if we ever get some sun and heat for any extended period. I have a few little baby cukes growing, I think on my White Pickle cuke plants. Tomaccio has some little green fruits, still waiting patiently for them to ripen. The 'Pineapple' tomato had a few beautiful flowers, but I think the rain mushed them before they had a chance to do anything at all... Kohlrabi here is about done, gettng somewhat woody, but the stuff at work is just coming along. Delicious. :)
