More clematis because it’s so lush this year! It climbs up and into the boxwood, which I love.
All this, and the wild roses have started to bloom! Soon, the peonies and the catalpas will join them.
I’ll say it again: my favorite time of year.
Though it’s chilly out there! Only a high of 60 today and even lower for the next two days, accompanied by rain. Some holiday weekend! Though I’m not a fan of the three-day weekend. I used to be, however, when I worked 40 hours a week in an office.
I’m still pecking away on my iPad. A post goes like this: I upload photos to my editing software and then I export them to my blog, which I open on my laptop so that I can do a security check and upload those photos to a draft post. Then I save the draft, open my iPad and sign on to the blog again. I open the draft post and write the text, which takes twice as long as it does when I use the keyboard. I proofread, then publish, whereupon I refresh the blog on the laptop and proof it again, making any revisions necessary. All replies to comments happen on the iPad.
All because I don’t have a working “t” on the keyboard.
I have an appointment at the Apple Store for next Tuesday.
By the way, did I tell you that my husband took my car to a place where it was fully detailed? Since we’ve both been using the car for over a year, he wanted me to have a fresh car, inside and out. It now looks like I just drove it out of the dealer’s lot! Gorgeous!
Series recommendation: Bordertown on Netflix. It’s from Finland, it’s a police procedural but so much more than that, and it’s excellent. Incredible acting from one and all. Yes, there are subtitles. Truthfully, I prefer them nowadays. We never watch network television ( I exclude PBS from this category, of course.) We’ve seen such a high level of excellence from all over the world in the past year. Our horizons have been broadened. Bonus: other countries are not obsessed with casting beautiful young people in every role, along with one token character actor. They actually appreciate age, character lines, and realistic casting. I knew England did, but it’s good to know the same holds true in other countries.
Stay safe.
Happy Friday.
