Oh. My. Gosh. It is so DEAD around here. Even my peppers died, so I tore them out by the roots (my room mate accused me of planticide). But, my bougainvillea is divine. I’ve named her “Isabelle” and I haven’t the heart to tell her that she only has four more months to live (they don’t do winter very well).

Speaking of winter, it’s hot around here. Even Pugsly is close to the edge. No worries - I won’t tear him out by the roots. It’s NOT a habit of mine, trust me.

Hang in there folks - the action is bound to pick up this next month. I’m preparing some reviews for next week just to keep your interest piqued.

Pugsly likes your feet.
