July Favorite Photos

July came and went, and all I have to show for it are these favorite photos!

I really can’t complain, we had some brutally hot humid days, but not as bad as it could be.

We have had a good garden production so far this year, lots of tomatoes, peppers, chard, figs, and green onions! I just germinated some Biquinho chili seeds and my padron pepper plant is huge!

My mom collected seashells from her many travels around the world, now part of my collection. I love the texture and colors of shells and so, a photo session was in order!

Shady Grove wishes you a lovely August!

I’m still trying to find my dream job. Of course, we all know that would be to paint all day long, but I need money instead.🙄 If I can find a way to do both, I would be so happy!

    Your beautiful photos show a lot so that’s a bonus! If only they came with a big bonus, right? The path of an artist is rewarding, though not easy. Best wishes Tiffany.

    Very nice pictures Tiffany.

    I especially like the butterfly and the designs in the sea shells. Your cat is beautiful!

    Did it take a long time for your fig tree to grow?

      Thank you! Yeah, we got our little fig tree about 12 years ago and it lives in a big pot (so we can take it with us if we move) this year was the best crop, we have over 30 figs about to ripen all at once!

        Good information thanks!

        Love figs…they are so good. 30 at one time is an abundance. What size pot do I need?

          It doesn’t have to be huge, at least 10 gallons though?

            Ok…got it. I’ll look for 10 gallons, thanks.

            It’s 111 degrees here!

            How is it there?

              Ugh, we are not nearly that hot, in the 80’s here, but really humid which feels yucky!

    Love the shell photos.

    Also, Shady Grove looks *very* similar to our cat, Luna. 😊

    A beautiful photo collection as always Tiffany. July here in the Coachella Valley was brutal; the average high and low for Palm Springs was 115/85, and we hit or exceeded 120 degrees four times!

        I hate it, and wish I could move elsewhere. It boggles my mind that thousands of people a year are paying $1 million or more to buy houses here.

    Some artists have found it fun to paint the signs used at Trader Joe’s. Probably doesn’t pay enough though. … I love today’s photos.

      Yes, my husband works there and I know some of the artists that do that, so I have looked into it!
