A little campus beauty shot from the hip. Come morning, come lovely atmosphere. I put it on Twitter and some of the right accounts passed it along. Oh, look at the pretty picture!
And 22,000 something people saw it. Not bad for just walking in from the car.
I trimmed the shrubs around the air conditioner this evening. I know, I know. And I agree. You’re not wrong, faithful reader. This is a lot of excitement in just one day. But I also pulled some weeds. In one flower bed some of the weeds hadn’t been there just the night before. And I disposed of some other pulled undesirable plants that had previously been displaced and left to brown. In one of those small piles a truly huge jimsonweed had joined the pile. I’d never seen one with such large seed pods. No idea from where it had emerged.
To review: weeds are growing almost knee-high overnight on one side of the house, and, on the other side, they just appear, pulled from the ground by the root, and added to a pile of already pulled weeds.
That would demoralize a normal gardener, but I don’t spend that much time in the flowerbeds.
I also had to straighten up some things in the garage, where I do a little as I go. Very, very little. I met this little guy on the garbage can.
So if anyone needs a green stink bug, or some jimsonweed seeds, well, re-evaluate whatever it is that you are doing. But if either of those items are still on your list, let me know.
Act fast, as they say. You don’t want to miss an offer like this. The supplies won’t last forever — but the weeds might.
