In other gardening news, my balcony looks amazing. My two native plants are doing really well, one of them is twice the size! (Not the strawberry, it's still wee.) We have two tomato plants that a friend started for us from seed and they are massive and have blooms already. Holycrapfreshtomatoes.....*insert Homer Simpson slobbering sounds here.*I really love this flower box. This picture was taken about a month ago so it has even more blooms now. The Bad Room Mate likes to eat the flowers on the plants with the red leaves. Does anyone know what that plant is called??
Finally, my summer reading has begun even though the weather here isn't great and hasn't been nearly warm (or sunny) enough yet for a trip to the beach with my beach bag and a good book. 
Book review #2 to come.

Supposedly, summer will come on Tuesday. I'll believe it when I see it (says the lady who still has to pack a scarf and gloves for work every day...) Grr.
Wish we could send you guys some heat and sunshine. We're in the middle of a heat alert.
I love the plants on your balcony. I don't have a balcony any more, which is too bad. I think I would have maybe liked to be able to do some summer gardening.
Let me know how the reading goes. Did you like the first book you read? I've read part of "The Friday Night Knitting Club" but just couldn't really get into it so I abandoned it. I think it could have just been me, and not he book.
I'm am annoyed at our heatless summer so far. Although I'm not sure what I would wear if a heatwave suddenly hit!
Beautiful plants!! Is that a little dog on the front of the flower box?
It looks like some kind of Oxalis - there's about 900 species in the genus. Try: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxalis_corniculata
Oh man, I'm now sitting pantless in my friend's apartment in TO. Great training for India! I'm always amazed at anyone's ability to make plants flourish. So not my strong point. I need to read book review #1 first, then #2.
So the weather out there isn't much better than here? We've now gone 44 hours without rain - practically a drought, considering! Hope your beach/book weather gets warmer for you.
Love the blues in your treasury - gorgeous shade!
