Flowers!


The only snapdragon blooming in my back garden so far, although several more have buds.


Volunteer feverfew in the back garden. I can never bring myself to yank quite all of it.


I keep planting "annual" dianthus, and it keeps coming back year after year. So I've got rather a lot of it these days.


This year's new coreopsis, since the one that I had for about five years gave up the ghost this past winter.


Bachelor's buttons are one of my favorite annuals.


Salpiglossis is so cool. It looks like embroidered petunias.


Candytuft pretty much self-seeds in my front garden.


The fairy rose is finally going to town.

And my back patio tubs just look incredible this year:

well, it was a thought

The problem with Netflix is that it makes available TV series that one loved when they originally aired, but which upon rewatching are as bad as those books one read and loved as a teenager but are utter dreck when reread at age forty.

Oh, Remington Steele, you really weren't that bad, were you???
