10/10/10 and a lost little rain cloud.

Pics were taken from my balcony. For a couple hours i just watched the storm move slowly across the mountains, no doubt looking for Eeyore.

Mini Carrots and Giant Grapes

The carrots are what came from the experiment of my balcony garden. We were inundated with basil but the radishes were freakish and the carrots were, as you can see, teeny tiny. Cute but inedible.

The grapes were "gift fruit" from my in-laws and so suitable exaggerated (and delicious!!). Ulala peels her grapes before eating them. I find this absurd, weird and adorable.
