101 in the shade.

i was only here for about 20 minutes...
and that was long enough for me.

there were some diligent fishermen out there...
but i didn't stick around to see if they were catching anything.

coneflowers...

my coneflowers are looking rough this year.
the spiders have built webs...
the cucumber beetles are exploring...
and last week i saw some striped, caterpillar/worm bug on them.

i don't know if it'll do any good...
but i'll give them some food this evening.

i kind of want to see the caterpillar thing again...
because it had pretty cool stripes.

i'll be in the right mind-set this time..
and ready to photograph it...
vs. shrieking in fear like i did last week.

these are daisy-like flowers at the edge of the side yard.
i'm not sure where this came from...
but it sure is pretty.

world's smallest tomato...
and they are SO sweet!

this is one of the heirloom varieties i planted this year.
in fact...
i planted two of these!

i have a few varieties that are doing quite well...
and i think i'll have a few entries for this year's contest.
i wonder if i'm eligible to repeat!!!

even if i'm not...
i'm enjoying the harvest...
and it's been so abundant that i've been sharing.
