A tiny bit of behind-the-curtain: this summer is shaping up to be our worst summer since 2022. ACK

This year was kind of normal until May but the drop off since has been dramatic and increasing!

Painting during the heatwave yesterday. Outside under the shade of the parasol was cooler than indoors so I decided to paint my vase of gifted sunflowers and garden pots.

It was beautiful.
