Sometimes It's The Little Things

I'm going to use this post as an excuse to take a short study break.

In a sign of how pathetic my life is, this is what I have gotten the most excited about this week: I found out that I get Bravo on my cable system although I'm not supposed to. Why the excitement? Now I can watch Project Runway! Tonight is the 11th episode of season 3, but in the runup to the new episode they're showing all the previous episodes today. I'm recording them all, but who knows how long it will take me to catch up?

I leave you with a couple of shots taken in my back yard this week.

I spied this little spiderweb, but where is the spider? Probably in my closet.

This is one of the cinnamon basil plants I grew this year. This one is thriving, the other cinnamon basil and my sweet basil have really been struggling since they went 3 days without water while I was in Memphis at the height of the heat wave in August. It's kind of hard to see, but this thing is swarming with bees. I bet that makes for some interesting-tasting honey!
