- A visitor to the printing company can't get off her cellphone from either her husband or mother (whom I also know). "I'm with Lynn. Yes! I have to go." As she hangs up she smiles into the phone, (and the smile says she loves them).
- A simple recipe for gazpacho from Ruth Reichl. I had abandoned my plan for making gazpacho last Sunday because of all the tomato peeling, seeding, straining and cumin toasting (which interfered with sofa sitting.) :) This one is wonderfully simple and easy and sounds delicious.

Seeing the butterflies that flock to the plant would make me so happy!
Joanne -
It does make me happy. I wanted to get a bit closer to take a more "macro" shot, but I didn't want to disturb any more than I already had.
I had no idea Ruth Reichl had a blog! Thanks for pointing that out (I am a bit out of it, eh?). I love planting flowers and watching the wild life enjoy them. So satisfying.

Love the butterfly plants. Mine is just setting it's bud (they bloom late summer here). The butterflies are going gaga over the bee balm and the coneflowers right now.
Oh, forgot to add that rescued plants are always grateful. :)
Three great reasons why I always love stopping by your posts.
You have something to make me smile. There's a message of appreciation for something in your life, which usually resonates with me.
I get to enjoy seeing what you've taken pictures of this week:~)
Have a great rest of your week, Lynn.
Sandra -
Thanks for coming by! I wouldn't say you are out of it - maybe it's not well known that she has a blog. I can't remember how I found it.
It is satisfying - I'm enjoying this summer.
Talon -
That's neat that you still have that to look forward to.
I hope it's grateful - it seems to be. :)
Sara -
Well I love it when you come by. We all have a wealth of goodness around us, I think. Thank you.
Thanks to my kind neighbors,I have everything to make that gazpacho and will give it a try.
I don't if butterflies are more bountiful this year or if I'm just seeing them more since I am doing so much mowing. They are beautiful and abundant.
Right now I also smell pretty good. I went to the post office and had a "pay it forward" surprise from that certain someone who makes sure good things happened:) Hear more about it on Friday.
Having gazpacho in the fridge is a great idea. I like mine a little spicy. It encourages me to hear that you have plants while living in a condo. I hope that will be true for me. :)
I too had no idea that Ruth Reichl had a blog - I have and love one of her books. Thank you.
And I love buddleahs too. And butterflies. Lots of wins for me here today.
That's neat about smiling at the phone. :-)
What a BEAUTIFUL plant that is.....And how wonderful that the Butterflies love it so much...!
Ah, it sucks when cooking interferes with sofa sitting! I'll check out the recipe though.
Granny Annie -
I LOVE gazpacho. This one might just be the one I finally take the time to make.
So you have butterfly visits while you mow - that's lovely.
And I hoped you would like that lotion. I'm glad you like your package and hope you could get that box of tea out fairly easily - it wedged itself in at the end of the box. :) All things meant for comfort in that box.

The recipe I was supposed to use originally called for a seeded jalapeno pepper, so that would work for you.
Yes - my neighbor and I have made a beautiful potted garden in our shared entranceway to our condos.
Elephants Child -
Ah - you make me smile by saying that. I'm glad you could come by today and see my post. I like Ruth's blog - she has started blogging a lot more lately. Always lovely.
FB -
Thank you - I liked that, too.
Naomi -
I hope I can make it live again next year! I've enjoyed it so much.
Riot Kitty -
It actually didn't - I opted for the sofa. This one will not interfere because you can throw the who thing in a food processor and you're done.
Gazpacho has such a feeling of summer about it; and it's wonderful lunch time fare.
As it's winter down this way at present, albeit a very mild one, you've made me think perhaps I should make some hot tomato soup later today!
Good to see your butterfly plant is working better than ours!
I think I need one of those in my yard.
I was given a purple butterfly bush several years ago- but it didn't winter well in the pot that extra bitter cold season. Enjoy those pretty butterflies!
Some folks are tough to get off the line- like my Lil Sis too!
Sounds like a great way to eat tomatoes.
