Heat Wave

We're having an early heat wave here...and a very dry June. Today it was 98 F and the same or higher is expected for tomorrow. We're just not used to this!

This is Lobivia 'Easter Bonnet', which was flowering recently.

Fuel Oil, Insecticide and Fine Art...

One of the worst jobs I can think of is cleaning out a messed up oil heater. That's what I spent most of today doing. The filter needed cleaning; the fuel line needed cleaning; the burner pot needed cleaning. Then...I needed cleaning!

Oh well, it's done. Now I can get on to the more pleasant activities like ... applying insecticide.

Ah, yes. Ain't retirement fun???

Enough already! Here's another work by Lynn-Marie. "Red Epi" is mixed media and collage.
