The Daily Hobbit

A happy July 4th balloon at Shop Rite.

Farmer boy gave me two tomato plants yesterday. Here they are; potted, fertilized, with Italian parsley, marigolds and a little lobelia. Two different varieties. We don’t know which ones.

Thunder boomer cloudburst at the office. We desperately need the rain and this was not enough. Didn’t cool anything off either.

A patriotic display at a storefront in Oldenburg, Indiana. It’s now countdown to the 4th!

It was a nice evening for walkie walkie down the road.

Spent the day in the office and got to play with The Duckie Game! Wanna see? Click HERE.

The auction house we toured in Warren, NJ is built next to Emerald Pond. This is a shot of the pond from the house balcony.

On the hot days we have been experiencing lately, this pool looks really inviting.

This is a serious wine cellar at the house we toured. It was stocked with wine but the schmuck had to sell it all to pay off his fines. Oh well…

Wallpaper in the house for Auction (Warren NJ). Probably a little girl’s room.

No, we’re not touring the Castles of England. We were touring a McMansion up for auction in Warren New Jersey. This house is being auctioned to satisfy FTC fines by a couple who telemarketed donations for the PBA and pocketed the money for themselves. You can read about the auction here.

Dainty blue lobelia.

Looking up at Gerbera daisies. One of Sonya’s favorites.

Looking up through my pink Wave Petunias.

Hiding inside the Zinnias.

Looking up through my white petunias.

Looking up from the Nasturtiums. Easy to grow and the flowers are edible.

Low angle of my purple wave petunias in a hanging basket. It’s low angle flower week - all week!

…by the beautiful sea. You and me, you and me, how happy we’ll be…

An undersea mural at Rutgers Prep.

Not really. But it has been a long time since I attended a Baby Shower. Contratulations Michael and Jennifer. It’s a Girl!

Farmer Boy found this little guy lurking around his farm.

WHOA…this hanging basket has a shocking color combination! I do nice work!

A beautiful clematis grows in front of a Gift Shop in Oldenburg, Indiana.

A gaggle of geese walking in front of the office building.

Stained Glass windows of the AirTrain station at Newark Liberty Airport.

The main concourse in the Indianapolis Airport.

Storm clouds over Batesville, Indiana.

One of the lovely homes in Oldenburg, Indiana.

In the town of Oldenburg, Indiana. Beautiful little town. Everything was closed except for this Pub. I found out they serve veggie burgers so I think I’ll dine here tonite.

Farm country. And flat.
