All I did after work was dig dandelions, and 2.5h hardly made a dent, but at least it’s a few hundred thousand seeds that won’t end up in my flowerbeds. Anyway…

I guess this hydrangea likes me more than the old lady. Last year, it had exactly two blooms.

P’s bachelor’s buttons (which I have dubbed “bachelor’s beacons”) are coming up. Planted five days ago!

The rain may have rinsed a liiiiiiitle pollen off the roof.

I have my first milkweed escapee. It’ll get mowed, but for now, I’m leaving it. Not bad for a second year crop!

I also got my clover seed, cardinal climber seed, pond liner (for the rain garden) and rain suit today. I’m not going to seed any spots in clover until the lawn is mowed. P ran over the front and south side after he got home, but it’ll need mowing again by the weekend, I’m sure!
