I’m moving slowly this morning. A whirlwind of mowing occurred yesterday, more than I had anticipated. We have 5 days of rain and thunderstorms starting today (enough already!) so I knew I had to initiate countermeasures. In other words, mow a lot of grass. When I saw how long the grass in the back forty had grown, I added that to the list. The only section of lawn that wasn’t mowed yesterday was what we call “the lilac side of the lawn.” It doesn’t grow as quickly and I figured I’d let it go for a few days.
But I am definitely dragging my tail this morning. Definitely. Tired. Brain fuzzy. Achy muscles.
I’ve never had a better patch of zinnias than this year’s. I’d put it down to the rain, and that helps, of course, but they were growing strong and tall when we were in that dry spell. I’m so happy about that because I love my zinnias.
A late summer blessing.
We watched Amelie for three nights running. We’re crazy that way.
More around the house close-ups.
That green vase in the Ixia pattern might be my favorite piece of Roseville. It’s got everything; a soft green color, beautiful flowers, and art deco style handles. What’s not to love?
I have to go make our second cup of coffee. Don makes the first. I make the second.
Looks like it will be a lazy weekend and I’m fine with that.
Happy Saturday.
