More Flowers, Inside and Out.

 It's another warm one here today, now 80 degrees as we approach 1:00, heading for 85 or more. That means it's lunch time and I have managed to fritter away the last hour. I'll get back to you. 

Well, I'm back, it's 2:15 and I'm completely distracted from flowers. Lunch time is when I read the Seattle Times newspaper, concentrating on national news from sources like the New York Times, the United  Press, and the Washington Post. Today was one of those days when I was shaking my head constantly. Trump is:

-attacking vote by mail to discredit elections,

-leveling tariffs that hurt board game sales

-gutting FEMA disaster response (hurricane season)

-fighting efforts to close Aligator Alcatraz

-threatened South Korea, so the SK president visited the white House and flattered Trump

-ordered the end of cashless bail(hurts poor people)

-moves to ban and punnish flag burning (is this really a big problem?)

-fires Fed board member

-directs Military to expand policing of US cities

And that was just on Tuesday! Is it any wonder I concentrate on flowers?

So this morning we had our weekly Zoom meet up, then I finished my PT, and ran a load of sheets in the laundry, (Tom made the bed, yay) watered house plants, and did a 30 minute workout on my stationary bike in the garage, which I had vented to cool it down. Then it was 11:00 and I went outside to read on the patio in the shade and cool down, but got distracted and picked up my phone and walked around the yard, mostly in the shade, taking pictures. 

So now I am back to the flowers.

In the house, picked yesterday:


My all pink zinnias


And outside:

Spoon and fork flower :-)


We still have a few roses





I don't remember what I did Sunday. It was hot. But in the late afternoon Jill and Tom went to the Sounders game and I stayed home.

And I was quite comfortable watching in my chair.


And that's all, folks. Bet you're glad.
