Why is it so gloomy?

Why, oh why? I really can't stand gloomy weather! One day, or maybe even three days I can stand, but not a whole week! I can't help but feel grumpy/sad in this overcast state- weather can really make me or break me. I've made a mental note to self a long while back that I will have to live in a sunny place. Okay- my rant is over, now on with the real news! ^^;

I present to you "The Sampler Lady" framed with a mat. Excuse the weird angle- I was trying to escape the glare/reflections.



And here's where I'm at on State Fair


the progression

Excuse all the photos, they are a bit dull because of the overcast day

My grapes are steadily growing. They haven't sweetened yet cause the squirrels would've gotten to them. We're planning on covering them soon from their claws.

The seeds from last year sprouted this tomato plant.

Hydrangeas are blooming~

Last but never least, my babies, Mochi and Pudding

Thanks for viewing, and I hope you all a fantastic week!
