I love that pot Betty. I would purchase it without hesitation. I know how much it would be with all of that time put in the painting.

The Elephant food, I believe that is the right name, is in the jade family. Leaves are very small. About the size of your ring finger fingernail. They come variegated and some o the variegated ones have deep purple stems.

The dogs and I had a short walk this morning and then I blew off the mimosa blooms from the driveway and then my neighbors pine needles and my sumac leaves off the back patio.

Like Pat, by the time I was done my hair was completely wet and I had sweat running off my nose, behind my ears and into my eyes. I came in the house, closed the patio door and have not been out since.

I have the cats inside, even though they like to lie around on the patio furniture. Reason is in photo below.

We broke another heat record yesterday and looks like we ill break one from the 50\'s today. It is cooling down. Only going to be about 109 today.

Several of my beautiful pots in my courtyard are fried. I am going to move them to the garage this evening. Salvage any plants I can and re-pot in holding pots and then get them ready for replanting. September is when we start to cool down. Right after Labor Day. As soon as it cools down, we plant our spring flowers.

I had my garden helper did not work today because it was going to be so hot. I told him to take the day off.

My daughter is heading to St. Louis Saturday morning to see Eloise Grace. First great granddaughter is now 5 months old.

My son-in-law\'s Aunt is in the hospital in Salt Lake on a ventilator. Has the virus. She is 81. They do not know how she got it and she has a learning disabled son that is 55 that also has it. We just went over 1,000 individuals that have died in our county.

Been kind of down the last few days. I stopped watching the news thinking that would help, but so far has not. I did not sleep well last night and had weird dreams.

Betty, if you were younger, you could paint those pots and Neiman Marcus would sell them as soon as they got them.

Every afternoon this week we have had some cover around 4pm which stops the direct sunlight on myself and the dogs. Either smoke from the California fires or clouds. No such luck today. We will need to walk later.

My neighbor was walking her husband, who has something similar to what Vern had, and they hear the owl calling his friends. Fantastic photo. That is why the cats are in the house. The house you see in the background is my back patio area.
