It's cool and cloudy here this morning. My tomato plants are huddled up in their pots outside consulting their maps trying to confirm to themselves that indeed they ARE in zone 9 and what the heck is wrong with the freaking weather anyway?
I was just about to put them out in the raised beds the other day, but saw there was a storm coming and decided against it. I hear it is supposed to be in the 80's next week. I'm sure THAT is more what they have in mind.
Though other plants don't seem to mind a bit. In fact they are loving the cool weather just fine:

The adorable Sweet Williams have run rampant. And I let them.

The indefatigable German Butterball Potatoes emerging.
Me, I always enjoy a cloudy day. Gives the outdoors a ceiling. Makes it feel more. . . intimate. Cozy. Indoorsy.
Sunny and I did a bike loop out by the old abandoned picnic area yesterday. She was so busy trotting along she completely missed the two hen turkeys that snuck around the back of a tree so as not to be seen. We have a boatload of wild turkeys around here it seems like.
I love my new bicycle. It is just dandy for me. There is a bike path that goes around one end of the airport. I may have to check it out one day. I could ride all the way over to the Subway place and get a tuna sandwich for lunch. It's about oh, I would say three miles from here. I don't think Sunny would want to run that far though. I will have to go alone on that adventure.
Well, I'm off to stir up a batch of yogurt. Though my lemon curd stash is getting dangerously low. I forgot to buy lemons yesterday too. Dang. The last ones I bought were 69 cents each!!! I thought that was kinda pricey. But oh that lemon curd!
It has become an essential staple of my kitchen. If our Clemantine oranges do good this year, maybe I will try my hand at orange curd. The tree bloomed up a storm, but I am waiting to see if it has set any fruit.
Have a good weekend everyone...
