Two beauties before bed

I'm a little overwhelmed at the thought of leaving again for another week of political madness, so I thought I'd just share two of the beautiful things from my yard today.

I planted these poppies from seeds my mother sent. She has them growing on her property in South Dakota, if the goats haven't eaten them yet.

And this tomato. . . I hope the colors come though online. There's a quality loss in the transition to this blog that I can't fix, but I call this my Rastafarian tomato.

Wish me luck in Minneapolis. I called my boss and asked her to send me to photograph the hurricane instead of the Republicans. She said, "Actually. . ."

So it looks like I may be off to NOLA soon after.

Here we go again.
