tired eyes

The combined effects of not enough sleep and a long time in a cat-environment are not pretty the next day....

Porch Update

I still need to refinish the porch, but the plants seem to be thriving anyway, despite the chilly overnight temps (30s in May is *not normal*).

The mints are exuberant, and seem to have gotten larger than the cherry tomato plant, which has a few flowers on it already (!). I really need to stake the tomato soon. (Hm. "Stake the Tomato" sounds like a good name for a band...)
The rosemary continues to bloom beautifully, and the buds on the chives are opening as well.
The basil seems to have adjusted to out door life, as does the lavender (which is doing much better than the one I have in the office).
The lemon balm has taken off, as has the oregano, but I'm still waiting for visible signs from the ginger to let me know it's made the transition from ingredient-in-bowl-on-my-kitchen-table to actual-plant-in-dirt. I suppose it's focussing on generating roots, now that it's in dirt, though, so I may have to wait awhile.

waiting when I got home...

Warm maple cinnamon raisin bread pudding is a good thing.
