Flowers!

 It's been lovely getting into the garden, as long as I put on my bug hat and apply bug spray. I've gotten some energy back and found some motivation. Weeding has been tricky. I don't have so much worry with weeds, as plants taking over. It's time to be tough. 

The phlox is blooming, but it is one of the culprits in overtaking the garden. Lots of critters love it.

Beside the garage, where Fred was digging burrow #7, I've been putting the pulled weeds. It's all construction sand, and no good for plants. It's good exercise flinging things. I used to love playing softball!

Then the lilies keep on bloomin'!

This is our cherry tomato plant. There are 4 plants in there, 2 tall, 2 dwarf. Overkill?!  I think we might have 4 or 5 wittle bitty pinky/orangey/reddish tomatoes. You go look, Joe!

With the heat, once I feel I've done as much weeding as I could, I am happy to sit down and watch something just before I make dinner.  We watched this together. Prime Suspect (1991) Helen Mirren – she is amazing! The BBC does some good stuff.

My mother and I would sit down together and watch a movie in the afternoon, if I was home sick from school. Joe's been doing a lot of research for shows we can watch. He finds some I'd like. This one, Prime Suspect: Tennison (prequel: set in 1973) I found terrific. I'm going to read the series once I'm done my current book.

I hope you don't have too much heat, fire, water, or smoke in your part of the world. Too many are being evacuated, too many lives lost. Look after one another.
