Hot, but not too hot. Now we are under a thunderstorm warning until 11 tonight...could be high winds and hail, too. Oh joy!<br /><br />Your garden area looks wonderfully bright, and I do admire your choice of plants for your large planter (and your faux painting also...who would guess what's under that paint.) I would also not have been able to guess the names of the plants you chose for your flame. Bravo on all counts.<br /><br />While at the Museum of Modern Art yesterday to see the Boetti show I mention in a blog, I saw another show that I wish you could see. It's called Ecstatic Alphabets/Heaps of Language, and includes some samples from the usual suspects, but also contained some displays totally new to me, that do lead to contemplating how we derive visual imagery linked to our particular language. (This show had a definite tilt towards English and Euro language, with a bit of Cyrillic thrown into the mix. I wish that other cultures had been included, but that would have been a much larger show!<br /><br />No storms here yet. Enjoy your warm toes. xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-54713778143453402982012-07-26T22:06:12.111+01:002012-07-26T22:06:12.111+01:00Couldn't agree more about the heat setting bei...Couldn't agree more about the heat setting being too high!<br /><br />Love the planter :DAnnie Cholewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608057589525908147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-4786906181284339762012-07-26T16:56:41.642+01:002012-07-26T16:56:41.642+01:00You are so talented Celia, that really does look l...You are so talented Celia, that really does look like lead.
