gentle giant...
with the painted skin...
the makeup...
and the jewels.
plus...
he was about 6'5" or so.
btw...
they were passing out flyers...
advertising the haunted house they'll be having in october.
i don't think i'll go to that...
because some of these people were scary in the daytime in june!!!

indigo rose...
each year when i'm deciding what i'll plant...
i'm looking for the unusual.
this year...
i got a lot of that!!!
this is my indigo rose tomato.
it's a purple variety out of oregon state...
that is high in antioxidants.
a couple of weeks ago...
i went out to the garden...
and saw that some of my tomatoes were looking black on one side of them.
i thought i'd been gone so long that that sun had started to bruise them...
and was ecstatic to learn this was not the case...
and that these were one of the indigo varieties i planted.
***
wow...
look at all that dust on the plant!!!
i didn't see it until i'd imported the photos into the computer.
i'll hose them all off tomorrow.
***
if you want to read more about this variety of tomato...
you can do that here on oregon state's website.

breakfast...
i decided that i would finally make some lifestyle changes...
eat breakfast EVERY DAY...
exercise EVERY DAY...
and eat less of those delicious chips that i love. :(
its been two weeks...
and i already fell off the wagon.
but starting today...
i'm back on track.
i had a 5 mile bike ride this morning...
and then had a cupful of cheerios.
i packed a nice salad for my morning snack...
which i just ate (its 1100 am)...
and i've set my timer to go off in two hours...
to remind me to have some protein.
i know what i need to do...
now to just keep doing it!

yes...
i knew that they were about to open...
but this morning...
there they were.
oh happy day!
