It's been pretty humid here. As you can see I can't get great photos due to the lens fogging up. My zinnias did not do well this year, and I planted almost all my seeds. These should be double the height. Only three more areas came up, and all have stunted growth due to lack of rain. I'll have to see if I still have the person's name who gifted me her Michigan seeds. I had been saving them year after year, but this year I won't have much to save. I have zero zinnia color in the very front of the house. Kind of depressing, but it's been too hot to sit out there anyway. I do love the color in my garden. Maybe next year it'll be nice and bright.
I went to check on the laundry status yesterday, and found Tiger sleeping peacefully in the hamper. Ha ha! I didn't have the heart to wake him up, so I did the laundry later.

Random Tidbits
In order to make bread pudding the other day, which is what the whiskey butterscotch sauce was for, I had to bake the bread.
This is apple pie bread pudding. I bake it in a pie pan. I've only made this twice, and each time tweeking the recipe a bit. It's a bit dry on top, and not like the ooey gooey apple pie filling. It's simply apples, brown sugar and corn starch. However, when we top this with whipped cream and whiskey butterscotch sauce.....oh my! It was my special surprise for Hubby. He's back on days now, but struggling to adjust to sleeping at night.
