So far you're just like late May! :D

Watered all the deck plants this morning and refilled the bird dish with fresh water. The temperature was not too bad, but good lord the sun was BEATING DOWN. The new plants that I have are all doing well -- the salvia, the bush cherry, the dwarf mulberry, the lemongrass. Neither of the two geraniums have bloomed, but they look okay. I noticed that Calloway's has hibiscus on sale, so I thought I might get one of those next week to add a nice splash of color.

Started reading Jon Michael Varese's The Spirit Photographer last night and so far it is pretty good. It's historical fiction about a guy who runs a photography studio in Boston in 1870, and who cleverly fakes "spiritualist portraits," showing the person being photographed along with the ghost of a deceased loved one. He's making a good business of it too, until the day he takes a photo and a real ghost shows up. Needless to say, this is a surprise! *g* I should say I think the author is doing a great job in creating what comes across as a perfectly plausible situation. :D
