Ah, Monday again. Yesterday a dear friend of mine here PM'd me commenting 'it was a long day' - for me, not nearly long enough. But I understand... I've had many of those where an hour felt like a week. But yesterday, I want a do-over. Short of getting 'that' I'll just look at it like this and move on.



All things Food, of course. Yesterday was a good eating day. Then again, being able to spend a 1/3 of my day not awake helped. I always think back to 'Valley of the Dolls' where Jennifer went to some 'sleep clinic' where they basically sedate you for about a week or so and you drop weight.

Back in my 20's I called that the vodka diet. One fifth of Grey Goose and I'd lose 3 days. But to each their own.

Nonetheless, I stuck to my good wholesome chicken vegetable soup after indulging a craving for bacon with a homemade biscuit and gravy ( the gravy made using the bacon grease, of course ).

I don't think I got anywhere near the protein from which my body may have benefited but then again I doubt my total steps for the day went into triple digits either.

The most activity I did was watering my poor dehydrated plants before the triple digit weather peaked. The I came back inside and vegged a little on 'Breaking Bad' DVD's because I was missing Gus and his pollo buckets...



As for the indoor rooting plant experiement ~ one week later yields the coleus is thriving but gardenia, shrimp and bougainvillea were a fail. Ah, the things I do for science. And indoor comfort.

Last night was another night of 'not awake'. I call it that because it wasn't natural sleep. I felt a bit like Elvis taking an 'extra' little something 'just in case'. Calling Dr. Nick? But this morning I found the reasoning behind the insomnia, and the answer.



Back to gardening, this is not from MY yard but I am teetering on making my own scarecrow. Must remember to put it out of range of the security camera so I don't freak out in the middle of the night. The plants behind 'her' are called 'squeeze weeds' and they DO cover my entire fence right now. Those flowers are major crack addictive for the butterflies and bees so it's fun to watch.



Mine haven't flowered yet this year so these are from last year:













And if it hasn't become painfully obvious to you by now, I really don't have that much to say today. Or I have a lot and am using the 'picture is worth a thousand words' approach because after all it is my journal and ...



With that, I think I'll go scrounge up some lunch. Hope you're having a good Monday in your world today. Thank you for stopping by to visit with me.

Wow! Very jealous of all the butterflies. I, too, have found the coleus roots very well in water and it grows indoors beautifully, too. Continue having fun and know, if you've done nothing else today, you've brought a smile to my heart.

Thanks for sharing the pictures - love the outdoors.

I like that - bringing a smile to someone's heart. The squeeze weed - believe me if you have it.. you'll have it everywhere. They are fascinating to watch but will attach to everything else. I love my outdoors too.. this hot time year makes it hard to enjoy though.

I haven't seen as many as last year.. I wonder where they're hiding?

Mine usually appear full force in September, though probably not as many this year, I pruned my butterfly bushes too much and killed a couple. My younger ones are still pretty small.

Lovely pics, Bella. Making your own scarecrow sounds like a fun project. Have fun and I hope you get real sleep tonight.

I love the scarecrow.

Well, I sent a pic to Blondie and she said 'please, no' but didn't qualify if because she already thinks my yard is too full or it's too creepy. So if I build it ... it will be a Scare-Blondie instead of a Scare-Crow... LOL

Seriously Sharon - you had BB on in the studio? I can't wait to see those pieces!

OH MY GOSH... I just visited your gallery again.... I love how your website is evolving and have decided I'm going to buy one of your pieces for my own Christmas present. Well, I don't want to wait that long, maybe a Labor Day present. Love Red River Trees the most. But so many others were just like 'want it, want it, want it...' You are amazing!
