| Sunflowers at my 577 garden. These are the short variety, only 5-to 6-ft. tall. |
Lots of tomatoes! A much better crop than last year. Must be the hot weather. Grew all sorts—Super Marzano, grape and several yummy heirloom varieties. The Brandywines are so large that one slice fills a slice of bread. Been eating lots of tomatoes in Caprese salads and sandwiches. Will be making and freezing some pesto and tomato sauce soon because the herbs are flourishing as well. The 577 volunteers also harvested my eggplants and beets that I grew for the food bank.
Loading the wood kiln at 577 on Friday and firing on Sunday. Tried some new ideas, should be interesting. It'll be fun and even better if the weather cooperates.
Visited the ceramics studio at the museum last week when I dropped off my work for the show. I can't decide whether to re-enroll. Enjoy the people there but my studio should be finished by the middle of the sessions. Work gets started next week on my pottery studio, can't wait.
These days Ben and Jerry loved to go outside at dusk when the locust are the loudest. This also brings out lots of bats. Their swooping gives me the creeps!
