I think it might be time to divide the daylilies...

backpack update

Lucky me! I just got this lovely leather backpack on Etsy! Although, thanks to your helpful comments on my first backpack post, I'm still tempted to get a Baggu one.

new neighbourhood kitty

This little kitty was checking me out while I was taking pictures in the backyard this evening. It still has big puffy kitten paws. It wouldn't stay still long enough for me to focus clearly (I didn't have my lens with autofocus on the camera) or get a good shot of it's face. I hope it comes back to see me again! Tragically, I am a MAJOR cat lover and I can't have a cat because Andrew is allergic. Every time I see a cat (especially an adorable little sweetheart like this) it breaks my heart a little bit.

p.s. this post is dedicated to Anabela

miniature rose

I just found these little mauve roses at the corner plant shop. I couldn't resist.

elegant eggplant

These are my eggplant seedlings. They are such elegant little plants.

The grow lights make this odd but pretty pinkish light.

perfect backpack

I love this backpack. Does anyone have any suggestions for where to find a nice backpack? Maybe leather or maybe woven, or a combination of the two. I've been searching vintage ones online, but with no luck so far.
