Summer Color

Summer Greetings on the Last Day of July - sigh.

I want way more July, and even some bits of May and June back.
Here we are not hurting for water. 
I almost feel guilty typing this.
The sunflowers tower.
The basils and tomatoes grow wherever the pumpkins allow them space.
And every so often I allow some time to play with art supplies.


This guy's name is "Big Bob."
He is pretty much an acrylic finger painting.
On a thick wooden board.
The owners of Ely, Minnesota's Mostly Moose and More shop bought him during 
the Ely Blueberry Festival.
He's probably had his fill of almost everything.
Eat or nap? Eat or nap?

Anyway.....
Here, we are back to dealing with tomatoes. 
No time to nap.
Volunteer tomatoes gone really wild!


Yes, almost too much of a really good thing.
Like the garage-sale supply of paints and drawing implements.
So a bit of early morning harvest, and then back to making art.
Art  fair season is in full swing - 
and we are happy, busy, and tired almost all the time.
We appreciate our many customers!
The stories, suggestions, new ideas.
THE LAUGHS!!

But now it's back to making "product."
If the tomato plants can do it, well, so can we.

Produce something today!
On to it - 

And Best of Luck to all hard-working Olympians. 
May your mistakes be minute, and may you be judged and timed fairly.

Fare-thee-well,
Sue
