Can you say bloody HUMID and hot, but mostly HUMID! It was terrible and it is only June, just imagine how August may be there.....Even though we were driving up I-25 surrounded by tornado warnings and threats of golf ball sized hail and a spectacular 360 deg. lightning show, we were very happy to get back home to Colorado.
A common sight in St. Louis is the Cardinal, we don't see them here in Colorado. This couple was brave enough to get seeds off the deck where we were staying. They are tricky to get pictures of though.
I managed to get a few sunflower pics for my Flickr friend Kathy, who loves Sunflowers:
Kathy these were taken at my sister's B&B, or at her house at Rhineland, Missouri.
...And finally a wedding picture- AHOOGA!
Back home to see the garden that Lucie lovingly watered for me while away- Thanks again Lucie! Harvesting Rs today....Rocket for my British friends (Roquette for the French friends, Rauke for the German friends....What can I say Arugula doesn't work for the theme....) and Radishes. I made some Rocket Pesto and garnished with the colourful radishes. "O" and the onions are from the garden, as well. :-)
I made this much the same way one would make basil pesto, but instead of toasted pine seeds, I used toasted pumpkin seeds.
