I’ve been working on some new comic ideas and doing lots of house stuff all weekend. After yesterday’s rain I went out and checked on my terrace garden. I have a few flowers here and there including portulaca (which has been growing weed-like in a few of my pots), petunia, and my heliotrope is coming back. The Coleus I planted about a few weeks ago is popping up nicely! The big news is peaches! My peaches have matured and are poppin off the tree. My mom suggested I bake a peach crumble, so I did. I improvised since I didn’t have flour around, I used pancake mix instead combined with melted butter and sugar (I didn’t have brown sugar on hand). Worked like a charm!
I also took some new pics of Slinky!

I have a terrace and I like to do container gardening. Right now it’s pretty sparce since the heat wave dried up a lot of the annuals while I was on tour, but I was expecting that. I planted some coleus seeds that are already popping up and my little trees are doing OK. In September I plan to get some nice fall flowers like mums and asters, get some color back out there! Anyway, here are some great photos I took in the Spring-time when the flowers were poppin’. Pretty!
