Happy Bastille Day

It's really the first hot day of summer. Until now it's been mild, but this morning it was hotter in the house than it was outside. I can smell smoke on the air, but not wildfire smoke - more like barbecue smoke, and flowers.

The garden is doing well, everything is getting bigger, and since I put down another layer of hay, good things are sprouting up all over, like sunflowers.

My lettuce sprouted yesterday, but today it's gone. I think something is eating it.

Say hello to my little friend.
