There are six morning glories blooming today. Not bad considering I thought we might have none!
The morning glories that are closest to the side door have interesting slashes of a reddish-purple. Hmmmm.
There are four blooms in the chicken wire fence garden and two in the memorial garden.
A lovely sight to see first thing this morning.
I thought I’d take a picture of the blooms in contrast to the clear signs of autumn all around them. I always plant them from seed during the first week of May and this is how long it takes for them to finally bloom. In the above photo, you can also see that there aren’t nearly the amount of morning glory leaves as there usually are. They were eaten by deer.
Nevertheless, this hardy morning glory thumbed its nose at the deer and produced beautiful flowers. So there!
We due to get rain this afternoon, which is a good thing. We need it. It’s been very dry around here lately.
We’re watching Luther on Amazon Prime. It stars Idris Elba (I have a crush) and is a fantastic British series. I’ve seen all the episodes before (must have been when Don and I were apart because of work) and I’ve been trying to talk him into watching it for years. It finally took. The timing ends up being perfect because I don’t remember all that much of it, so it’s like new. Excellent series. It used to be on Netflix, now it’s on Amazon.
And I’m reading Paris to the Moon by Adam Gopnick, who writes for the New Yorker. It’s all about the time he and his wife and son moved to Paris for 5 years, from 1995 -2000. I’m really enjoying it. This is yet another example of Instagram, specifically the hashtag #Bookstagram, exposing me to books I wouldn’t know of otherwise. I’ve seen this book mentioned more than once lately, even though it was published almost 20 years ago in 2000. I finally bit the bullet and bought it.
My favorite city, you know.
Happy Thursday.
