It’s a leisurely Sunday, I’m taking most of the day off, cept for my Flower Art Photos and a brief journal.

It’s not as warm as earlier this week, but it’s plenty warm and humid, and it’s still hard to be outside.

The rain has been good for my flower beds; the Calendulas (above) are opening, as are the Begonias and the Nistirtiums.

This evening, we are both going to the Cambridge Food Pantry to attend a volunteer Dinner Appreciation. I’m so impressed with the pantry volunteers that I’m looking forward to it. I’ll put the Flower Art photos up early, read, and sleep tonight. See you tomorrow.

I like this portrait of Maria, while she keeps me company while I take some photos.

The Caldula’s may be among my new favorite flowers. I bought a dozen from the Bernard plant show several weeks ago.

The begonis are rich and deep.

Zip’s new nighttime base. Since we moved the wicker chair out to the back porch, Zip hangs out here for naps, and it is his night base for hunting. The heat has calmed him down quite a bit.
