It was so hot out

I got the flat tire on my bike fixed, then I stopped at an awesome yard sale!

I took these pictures lying on the bed next to the AC with the blinds drawn:

First published 1879. I feel like Meredith was maybe a buddy of Virginia Woolf's father? Curious to read this novel.

And by Tolkien:

A book I never heard of.

And:

Kind of excited about this! It's the book Jane Austen mocks in Northanger Abbey!!

And, finally:

I read Roxana not too long ago; interested to see how this is different. Isn't the cover design great?



Yep, ol' Moll had lots of problems.

I bought a bunch of CDs for Greg, but we all know that music isn't as important as books...so no pictures of those.

Later we went to the pool!

You can't quite tell from the pictures

But these marshmallows are enormous.

"Giant Roasters^TM"

My kind of marshmallows.

Sadness

Where will he sleep tonight? (He's already got his nightcap on.)

Hello

I would like to speak to the old guy with the cactus, please.

At the yard sale

The woman said: Oh, do you like that? You can have it.

New home:

Experimental plant laboratory.

I don't know

I just think this thing is funny. And cute.

Beware!

A kitteh.

I laid four eggs

Weird, right?

Fire eagle!

TO THE RESCUE!! !!! !!!!!!

Possibly related to this fella.

Hi Ginger!

We encountered a guy.

First he got patted by Greg.

Then me.

Then—

No one.

Bye Ginger!

Bonne Maman

Not so "bonne".

:(

Rockaway Beach

These should give you the general idea.

YARD SALE + THRIFT STORE

Saturday purchases.

Aw yeah, a new hat!! Four bucks. (I am totally leaving that sticker on there.)

Later:

That's right! Baseball cards for Greg.

1981. Also they are jumbo. (And one is autographed!)

PLUS:

From a bin of old-timey art supplies.

"Radiant." Also for G.

And, the best napkins on Planet Earth:

For one dollar!!!

Quite the day.

I ran a race

In Central Park.

The sun found my legs.

Pie weights

Whatever's in that jar on the windowsill.

Curiosity

Satisfied.
