REFLECTIONS

Most thought it was a cat, which is what I would have guessed. This is a photo out in the snow at another time.  Here his eyes are somehow two colors! Week's Image  June 25th 2017

I've never heard of this holiday before. I guess it makes sense for homemade crafts. Here's a quote from the site which explains it: NATIONAL LEON DAY National Leon Day marks June 25th as six months away from Christmas day.  Leon is Noel spelled backward and is a day some crafters begin planning their homemade gifts and decorations.  It can also be a day for those who miss the winter holidays to have a mini winter celebration in June. HOW TO OBSERVE:  Crafters, get your hot glue guns ready! Start planning your ugly sweaters now to beat the crowds! Use #NationalLeonDay to share on social media. NATIONAL LEON DAY HISTORY:  Within our research, we were unable to find the creator of National Leon Day.  Link:  NATIONAL LEON DAY – June 25 | National Day Calendar

The tomato plant made a great start.  So did the cucumbers on the left. These two tiny tomatoes are about the size of a pinkie nail. I got up close to see the hair-like details on  the stalk. The cucumbers are doing well, no cukes yet. I love the way the tendrils find a way to hold the plant to the support. The basil plants are about six inches tall now.

From a Distance It almost died one year but then came back with four trunks!
