the supplies are dwindling

I always wondered how long it takes to go through a tube of toothpaste.  About three months.  Same with conditioner, and lip balm, and most of the other things I brought from the States and now have to replace with weird Swiss products.  Mostly I make good choices, but there've definitely been some failures, too.

There have been some inquiries about the state of the plants.  Peas have flowers, chard needs to be repotted, lettuce is delicious.  Some of it smells like the tomato plant growing in the container (also waiting to be repotted) and I like those leaves the best.

The fried areas happened while I was gone, do you think it's sunburn, from water?

And to close, two evening sun-on-wall shots, taken during the only 30 minutes of clear skies we got today.  (Late spring is turning out to be depressingly cold and wet.  Unusually so, I hear.)  My room really displays a dramatic difference in the position of the sun throughout the year.  When I moved here, we'd get sun on the north wall around 6 PM; now it's sun on the south wall at 8.  Fascinating.
