I haven't tried doing a video of Lucas for the longest time, mostly because he's an unwilling participant. I did manage to make this one this morning, though. It's not terribly interesting, but you do get to see his gushiness in action.

I wish he would say "hello" for the camera (or in his case, Hehheh! Ro!). He's been doing that a lot lately when he sees one of us outside through one of his window perches. I don't know why he's starting trying to say "hello" again. Most of the time he either squeaks or speaks in Simlish.

Hump-Day Update.

As of this morning, the bachelor's button seeds I direct-sowed as well as the seeds in the pot have started to pop. I noticed that the sprouts that are coming up now are growing their second leaves from the base of the plant as opposed to the top. I hope this means they won't grow leggy and die! Maybe bachelor's buttons demand to be sown outside? Of the seeds I started weeks ago, I have one survivor in the ground and one in the big pot. I hope the second round has better luck!

Two of the cosmos I transplanted outside have been stomped by some creature, probably the same skunk that randomly sprays our trash cans at night. All of the sunflowers are doing great, though. I have more sunflower and cosmos seeds, but I'm not sure if I want to direct-sow more plants. I think I have enough to care for.

I have one little jalapeno pepper growing. All the tomatoes have little fruit on them, including the three cherry tomato plants that had the Funk. They seem to be recovering. I am glad.

I'm afraid I won't have many new flower photos to share for a few weeks, unless anyone wants to see a bunch of vegetables in pots. I probably won't see any new blooms until the end of July. Everyone else is holding strong, thank god for daylilies!

Onto other topics...
