Adventures in Hooterville

Last night, Nick and I went to a birthday party in Little 5. It was here that I discovered that Nick's co-worker Scott had been offering him tomato plants for several weeks, and Nick had failed to mention said offer. Whaaaat? Of course this could not stand. We drove straight from the party to pick up the plant at 11pm last night. After work today, I went straight to the garden to give the new addition a proper burial. Or, no... um, new home? I don't know what the terminology is, but there is a live tomato plant in the garden now.

I used the occasion to take a few photos of my favorite plants at the moment. We had more lettuce (red, green leaf, and romaine) than we could eat last month but it's looking pretty sad now due to the heat, so there aren't any pictures of that. Ditto on the fennel and dill. The basil, thyme, oregano and mystery plants are doing great, though! Mystery plants are probably pumpkin, but that's another story.

The link above also directs to pictures of our latest camping/hiking adventure and some other domestic stuff I was pleased enough with to take pictures of. Namely a key lime pie (my first!) and a t-shirt "refashion" that was actually successful.

Anyway, I have way too much work to do so I'm going to keep this short. I probably won't post much before or during my trip, but the trip should be good blogging fodder. Take note Blogger, and be sure to beef up your servers before August 1...
