Flowers from the garden that I picked Monday after getting the house work and laundry done. Confession: Tom does most of the house work these days. I do the laundry, and the dusting, now and then. 

The zinnias are somewhat scarce, as are the asters, but we have French marigolds in abundance.

Monday was busy. Tuesday was hot. We had our Zoom meet up, then I did 6 miles on the stationary bike in the garage where it was still cool enough. Tom worked outside for a while, as heat doesn't bother him as much. Then there was reading on the patio, where I am thoroughly enjoying the border of impatiens and plectranthus on the patio edge.

In the evening we watched Mariners Baseball, along with Tom's tablet and my laptop on our laps. Baseball can be kind of boring so we need distractions. The Mariners won and we switched to two series we are watching, "Outer Banks" and "Anna Pigeon". 

Today we had a cool morning. Yay! I wanted to work outside. After my PT exercises I spent 2.5 hours outside. I clipped all the the lavender along the driveway, cut back the spent lily stalks, and did some other deadheading. Then I was tired.

This afternoon I am taking it easy. I had a long lunch with the newspaper. News is disheartening these days. Rest in Peace, Dolly. Now I an entertaining myself by blogging. It may, or may not, be entertaining to my readers. :-/

 It's time to go sit in my recliner and play Wordle and Connections. My Kindle will also be nearby.

Dinner is spaghetti, Zucchini, and salad. Not too complicated.
