Today was super busy with necessary tasks including laundry, shopping, mowing, blah, blah.. This evening was the Zoom meeting compliments of the UP Publishers and Authors Association (for the UP Notable Book Award). If anyone wants to hear me talk even MORE about the trail, I'll post the link when it goes on YouTube.
Meanwhile, have some more fun plants. This is one of the 'Sunsparkler' sedums that I really like. This is 'Dazzleberry.' It's got a lot of sun on it in this picture, but it stays this muted blue-purple color. And it's spreading well, if slowly.
Here's what it looked like a year ago, so it's gradually increasing in size. This color is more accurate in shade.
This is a mystery Sedum that my friend Betty gave me. I've made several guesses as to what it is. My current guess is another of the 'Sunsparklers' called 'Blue Elf.' It's spreading at about the same rate as Dazzleberry. Again, I like the color.
This flower isn't even really in a flower bed. I put some alongside the east edge of the house because it can stand the morning heat. It spreads like crazy, but doesn't stay in one place very well. It's probably oregano gone wild.
Not a lot else to say about today. I have to get up early to go to meet with Matt Rowbotham and Bill to process our info from the Adirondack hike.
Oh! And I saw something last night I'd never seen before. A very young fawn with its mama in the back yard. Way too common. But the fawn had the zoomies! I never saw a deer do that. It was just going crazy for about five minutes.

That would have been fun to watch the fawn. I had to google it to see if that was normal or maybe a sign of some kind of sickness. Apparently it's just a way to release energy
Aw, fun to see the fawn, no doubt. Love sedum. It's just so darn EASY. I find my northern varieties aren't as happy here, but I have found some new ones. Always a joy to find new plants!
Ann- dogs and cats do it all the time.
Lin- there are a lot of nifty ones that can't take our cold
Java Bean: "Ayyy, Dazzleberry, that sounds like a new flavor of drink at Starbucks!"
