Gorgeous pictures this morning!! Jean, I was going to post an eclipse picture, but yours is spectacular, so I will leave it at that!! I didn't get to see the red color because the moon had already slipped lower in the horizon than I could see. Great stuff!!

jasdip.....not eveyone watches their sodium. I'm a runner with low blood pressure, I sweat it off....I like salt! and.....I rarely eat anything processed. So this would be a FREE treat..... I've been known to suck on chicken boullion cubes....there's something for everyone out there.....:0)

Your lavender Plectranthus is beautiful susanwv! Those 'Mona's seem to bloom forever. Yours is obviously a very happy plant. Great group of photos again today--cool bridge setting, autumn color [sadly lacking here :( ], and fun shots. This neighborhood cat was not very skilled at tree climbing in the first place, and on this day, was getting doubly insulted by an attacking mockingbird. Poor cat; what a rough morning he was having!

After my morning bike ride, I stopped at home and got my panniers, and went to the grocery store. Here is my bike all loaded up: and here is what I bought, all but the tomatoes, I had them in my camelbak and forgot to put them out for the picture. Yep, one can do grocery shopping on ones bike. :) Moni
