It’s bucketing down today (yay!) so today’s photos are a buffet of unposted flora, fauna, and food on a recent sunny day.  Here’s what it really looks like out my office window today, and Misu’s latest battening down place in my office closet.

Starting with food, here is E’s latest bread experiment (a delicious hybrid of challah and sourdough Italian bread–Jews and Italians are cousins, after all), and her latest version of tapioca pudding.

Here are more random plants and butterflies.  Pokeweed may be a weed, but it’s native and fun, as long as you don’t eat it.
