Power Trucks Photo a Day 181

So today we tied the record high temp of 117F and the transformer box across the street that manages my home didn’t survive the load from the afternoon heat. We lost power around 4pm and the power company had crews out to have power restored by 8:30.

Cute Wild Daisies Day 180

These cute daisies are in my Mom’s yard and she has no idea where they came from or exactly what they are… She thinks they are a weed, but she likes the blossoms so she didn’t rip them out! 🙂 Some Facebook friends thought these might be Roman Camomile but after further review I still think these are some sort of Daisy as the green stems looks different than the Roman Camomile.Day 180 of 365

Broccolini Fun

I usually purchase regular broccoli, but on occasion it’s fun to have some broccolini around. These have larger tops and longer stems. I liked the color and textures…
