I took this picture about a week ago on yet another gray day and I realized this morning that it gives a good indication of just how tall the maple and the catalpa are. You can see the catalpa – in bloom – on the right. The maple is huge. So is the catalpa. I’m terrible at estimating the height or length of anything – math is not my strong point. Keep in mind that I’m standing across the street on a lower elevation, our house is actually on a hill. And the trees are also on a raised elevation. So they’re not quite as tall as they seem.
You can’t even see the big garden bed, it’s so shady over there!
From yesterday’s second-cup-of coffee-time on the porch. A still life.
We have rain this morning and then it will clear up for the afternoon. Two days of sun on Saturday and Sunday and then back to rain. Two days of sun = two days of mowing, because we have to do it before it starts to rain again. I’m sure that’s been the same for many of you this spring.
Don will finally be able to get out there to take some portraits. Huzzah!
I did start another Instagram account yesterday. If you’re inclined to follow, you can find me at: @lifelongbibliophile. I’ve only done one post so far and I may not post every day. Keeping it stressless. Many of you have already followed that account and I thank you!
Today? I have no idea as of this moment. We’ll see what comes to mind.
Happy Solstice, longest day of the year, and first day of summer!
Happy Friday.
