The Bridge

 I have fallen down a rabbit hole, as I got hooked on the Danish Swedish series called The Bridge. Amazing writing, great acting, fantastic soundtrack, atmospheric art direction, and the theme song is haunting. You  can watch it on YouTube with the English subtitles. I'm not going to tell you anything more. Just watch it.

It's Finally Sizzlin'

Now we have sun and beautiful mauve sunsets. It FINALLY feels like summer. I am happiest early in the morning and late at night when it is cool and breezy. My plants are so happy and when my plants are happy, I am happy.

I bought a giant half a watermelon today, which is fun and we are planning a dinner tomorrow night with friends in the garden, so I'll make a big fruit salad. I am obsessed with crossword puzzles. It's the only thing my brain can do in the midday heat. I had a very pleasant evening prepping bamboo on the front steps today for some workshops I'm leading.

We are really strapped for cash this summer so I am lunching on mac and cheese from the box and plain old grilled cheese sandwiches--with salad greens, of course. Pinching pennies is exhausting. Soon those will be gone too and in time, the expression itself--except in obscure crossword puzzles.

Our hops vine is once again full of lady bugs. I watched the ladybug larvae munching on aphids. It's hard work for the little larvae.

I had three sightings of anise swallowtail butterflies today. Who can say if it was the same one?
