Last Day of June, First Day of July

Blue skies make for a joyful heart. Last evening’s walk made for a satisfying way to end the last day of June.

 

 

This is a close-up of those little flowers in the photo above.

El Pescadero where we live has farmland. Basil, poblano peppers, watermelon, and sometimes sage and rosemary grow all over our neighborhood. Sometimes the basil perfume mixes with that of the ocean and I know I’ve died and gone to heaven.

The plant below is called Bad Woman (Mala Mujer). It gets its name from the nasty stinging hairs on its leaves. It is beautiful, but I don’t want to experience those stinging hairs. It is a perennial and blooms mostly May-July, mostly in the southern part of the Baja peninsula, especially in the Cape region.

 

Back of my house on the last leg of my evening walk.

Before the day ends, I snap a few photos in my backyard.

This part of our yard is watered with our grey water.

Some of the cactus in this part were already here, but mostly we are growing things we brought in.

As we begin our morning of July 1st, the moon is still out.

Cardon blooms and a dove enjoying the July early morning.

Bustin’ at the seams this morning with joy.

Later the car will get a much-needed bath, I’ll practice the ukulele, sit in my hammock chair, and read. Sacred Sunday! My wish for you is that you enjoy yourself wherever you are and whatever you do.
