Leaf a day

My camelia leaves look like they're dying in late fall! In real life they are a healthy deep green, but my scanner argues with me sometimes. At any rate, I'm at least drawing leaves these days, if nothing else.

The first client of the day came in complaining about her doing-nothing tomato plants and that's the story all over the county. My office was 66º F at 9:00 a.m. and I was tempted to turn on the heat! It's August, I can't no matter what, but the thought did cross my mind. Tomatoes cannot thrive when it's downright chilly from 8:00 p.m. until at least noon. There just isn't enough heat or sun. Now, if I'd known this was coming I could have planted Frisco Foggers and maybe I wouldn't be whining. And of course, if it was our usual 95º for August, I'd be complaining about that too, wouldn't I?
