rhiannon_blackQuote of the day: The temperature's rising, it isn't surprising.... (Heat Wave, Irving Berlin)
Okay, so we're subtropical. Picky picky. And not that bad of a heat wave but I live to bitch. It had been so nice here, getting up to the upper eighties or low nineties and then cooling off as soon as the sun went down. Getting down quickly to the seventies, maybe even dipping under seventy before dawn. Now it's hotter, just a tad, but not enough late afternoon cooling. We have had a couple of pop-up thunderstorms but we're not really forecast anything rainwise for more than a week.
Classes started this week. I have homework to do, a Pontormo and an Uglow. Different pics from Spring term so that's good.
My potted herbs are doing pretty well. The Red Rubin Basil was looking a tad thirsty this morning so I'm sure it's thirstier now. Will water it in a little while. The Tulsi is driving me absolutely mad; it is determined to set seed and I am determined that it not. Mostly, however, everything is doing pretty well, not usually needing emergency watering (or watering multiple times a day).
A couple of turmerics have shown up, one is maybe six inches tall now. Looks quite fetching. Yay turmeric! I picked up a culinary ginger with plans to plant it but still haven't down it. Will soon. If I can force myself to do it this afternoon/evening, I will. The heat is crushing though.
Pulled stuff out my portfolio (it was just too heavy). That last standing pose of Aubrey is really quite good. The seated poses are various degrees of putrid (though the face on the last pose is better than I had thought). And she is not sooooooooooooooooooooooooo fantastically stretched in that one. She doesn't look ten feet tall, maybe only seven. I'll take "better" in whatever increments I can get.
