I may have taken the day off work, but I didn’t take the day off work!

These have nothing to do with that sentence, but portulaca blooms are beautiful (if short-lived)!

Second year I’ve grown Italian red clover; first year I’ve seen a flower. Mexican sunflower crowded it out last year (and at 10+ feet high and as big around as a small tree, no surprise!)

This is the working when I wasn’t at work. I finally got my summer clothes properly situated in my closet! That and doing tasks that I’d largely neglected took pretty much all of Monday. I’m okay with it; the house was starting to look a real mess!

Spider mites (little fuckers) pretty much toasted my mini rose, but it was going to bloom again, so I saved the bud. Pretty little things. Fuck spider mites.
