Keep Calm and Carry On

I've been having a really, really tough week. Unfortunately, it looks like I'll be back on the job hunt very soon. If not tomorrow, then by next Monday.

In the meantime, though, I am trying to enjoy the pleasant weather. It still hits up to the mid-80s by noon in my area, which would have me mildly concerned but I have more pressing matters in front of me at the present. My raspberries and eggplants are still coming in quite strong. A bowl of sun-warmed raspberries doesn't melt away that sickening pit of anxiety in the belly, but they are otherwise delightful.

And flowers. I like to keep at least a few blooms on the kitchen counter and maybe in the bathroom as well. A friend gave me a lovely bouqet of lillies and the yellow flowers above. (Please idenify the yellows if you know!) The yellows lasted three weeks and when the lillies died, I filled them in with pink roses. Not exactly an autumnal arrangement, I know. But it just doesn't feel like autumn yet!
