Oxalis
I have the black thumb of doom. My house is usually where plants come to die, so I don’t know why this silly oxalis is so happy here. It literally had three leaves on it when I brought it home. I’ve forgotten to water it for weeks on end, and when it was sitting on the dining room table, Polly would periodically sleep in it. Apparently it is indestructible.

Resurrection Lily
The poor things look like someone chewed them up and spit them out. This summer has not been kind to my little garden.
Rose of Sharon
The people I’m cat sitting for have a ginormous Rose of Sharon bush in their backyard. Most of the blooms, like this one, were beat up from the storm we had a couple of nights ago.

I swear, this thing popped up overnight.

Rain
Not only did it rain, which we desperately needed, but it cooled off. For now. It’s supposed to be back in the 90s this week though. Ugh.
It’s ALIVE!
I thought my butterfly bush was dead, but I WAS WRONG.
Yellow
There are only two more days left of my staycation, and I feel like I haven’t gotten anything done. I mean, I did get a lot accomplished, but it was all boring stuff. Probably the most exciting thing was getting the mountain of Freecycle crap listed and moved out of the studio, which is now clean and ready to work in.
I also got rid of four large bags of books, so there’s room on the shelves for the eleventy million other books I’ve bought over the last few weeks. (Yes, I am now the owner of an entire set of first edition Hardy Boys books. They aren’t worth much, but they’re very entertaining. Someday I’ll re-re-read them and keep a tally of how many times Frank, Joe, and Chet are knocked unconscious. I figure they should have been in a persistent vegetative state by the 5th or 6th book.)

This was straight from my phone camera. All I did was crop it in Picnik.
