Usually we have drinks or a bite to eat at The Borough on the corner of Dawson and Morgan Streets near the heart of Downtown Raleigh.
It’s great people watching and a nice location to begin a walk around Downtown proper and to have a nice bite to eat and a beverage.
I do love their good food and their option of choosing steamed broccoli in place of fries!
The red-tail hawks are nesting again in the steeple of the First Baptist Church. Photographers love them!
As darkness fell and we walked closer to Fayetteville Street we realized that something dealing with anime must be taking place? Kids everywhere dressed: like Japanese anime characters! It is called Anamazement!

The newspaper stated that about 6,000 were attending. This explains why they were EVERYWHERE!
There was a dance party out front if the Raleigh Civic and Convention Center:
If I was 20 years younger I would have been in the middle of that crowd.
But back to gardening!

I purchased a bag of spinach at the Raleigh Farmer’s Market last week and I don’t think I will ever eat it all!
I made spinach pancakes!
Spinach scrambled eggs.
And more spinach scrambled eggs.
In the garden the Amaryllis are blooming. This variety is called St John’s Lily. I saved them from a garbage heap when some yuppies/hipsters purchased an old house and decided to clear everything out of the yard!
They are all over the yard as are the day lilies! I am glad I stopped that day and saved them from the garbage!
The temperatures are really heating up. It is regularly reaching almost 80f everyday! The humidity will follow soon.
It’s all part of the typical Southern Summer!
