I think this must be a blue racer. Long. Blue. Snake.

Hosta hostage.
Spotlit hydrangea.
White flowers unknown to me, although I see them frequently.
Hot. Humid. And it’s only late May.
Of course: super-yummy

So, after yesterday’s main event—the wedding!—the multi-talented bride’s mom made (home·made!*) biscuits and a cheese grits casserole for brunch for drop-in morning-after-the-wedding guests.
Not to be confused with a restaurant with that name. Extra point if you know the name of that dot-in-the-middle-of-the-line character….
Best wishes and congratulations

Bride’s cake. Yum.
The couple requested the car be decorated. Yay!
Kids having terrific fun. One of the best parts of a wedding, no?

Today was an appetizer…and these are blue cheese-stuffed date with almonds and marinated deviled egg stuffed with hummus. Mmmmmmm. 🥚

I looked at this when I took it, and thought it’s that blue-pink pH thing. Then I thought hmmmm what’s pH stand for? I had college chemistry, so, geeze I should have been told this/read it. Okay, WikiPee, what’s it stand for? Turns out there’s no clear answer. Guess that’s why I don’t remember!
Chalk cat. Not to be confused with a hill figure (Brit.).
Oh-kayyyyyy

I do love ferns. So delicate.
A fellow was unloading a Sysco truck…is it true that every restaurant needs split box products? Popotes I understand—those are drinking straws in Mexican Spanish, a corruption of the Nahuatl/Aztec word for the plant stem used to make sweeping-brooms.
Realized I didn’t know the Spanish for fern—heh; turns out it’s helecho.
Unexpected science

After the rain stops, insects get busy. I think of this as an anthill, but that’s a large passage for a typical ant. Ah, the rain has changed the ants, and now they’re mega-ants! 😃
This was unexpected…you can’t tell, but the reflection on this first-floor wall is from a window in the upper story of the opposite building. I guess the angles work, but on first glance I didn’t intuit that the window-ghost would be projected at a downward angle.
Or, if you prefer Bill Nye science, check out the latest John Oliver….
Rain…brought basil
Sunday, 12 May 2019
We had a lot of rain overnight, the kind that can weigh down a yucca bloom-spike. We had rain after I took this this morning, too, but I think it’s over for now.
I was surprised by this white blob above my head, amidst the glistening dark green leaves. Aha! Magnolia!
Basil clipped for dinner…then snipped atop pasta with a tomato sauce.
Even found mozzarella di bufala (that is: water buffalo milk, not cow’s, in soft cheese balls) to also add. BTW, the pasta sauce had bison meat in it. And we also added parmesano reggiano—cow’s milk cheese. I wasn’t going for species diversity in our protein sources, but that’s what we got.
