Color Me Smiling


I got my bu++ out of the chair today and then put it right back down in the seat of the lawnmower. There's really no excuse for why I don't do a better job of keeping things mowed now that we have a good mower. But I don't. Oh well. I did 3 of the 4 areas that I mow (if you don't count the space out back for Confidence Camp). The rest might happen tomorrow.

While I was riding around, of course I took a look over at the rock garden. Wowser! The camera doesn't do it justice. Actually, I've figured out why. The human eye can continually change focus to see the long view and then note the spaces of purple and yellow and maroon and all the shades of green which it puts back into the brain in the long view memory. Forgive the drawbacks of a camera; it's looking really nice right now.

The yellow Asiatic lily opened its first blossom today.

And looking westward in the front bed, this is a nice shot of the blue globe bellflower with the bright pink firefly heuchera flowers behind it.


And just for proof of mowing:

The weather was delightful today. I didn't have to beat myself into going out to work because it was too hot or whatever.

Finished one editing job. Mostly mowed. A little weeding, trimming, etc. But now I think I'm tired.
