Life in the Yard

Wonderful and productive day up at Ye Olde Hoyte Homesteade.

Ethan and I whacked off more of the lawn and I pruned most of my rose bushes--including the monster Rugosa that threatens to take over the yard every two years.

In addition, I planted the last remaining partial garden beds with flower seeds...no-till, so I'll be reporting on that someday, you can be sure.

In the meantime, let's take a quick look around the yard...

Wow...a four-leafed clover!
Melinda, resident botanist, found this on one of her daily rounds to check on plant life.

My Spiderwort--rescued from the ditch--being its luscious blue and violet self.


It's June and Rugosa Roses are bustin' out all over :-)
Their silky petals remind me of paper...and now I'm startin' to think of Marie Osmond, which might date me...just a little.

This Monarch was taking a sip of Dandelion nectar the same time we were watching the fawn...


Welp, time for beddy-bye. Ma's been so very industrious, and she is so terribly brave, that she's agonna try sleeping tonight without a mite of Benedryl.

I've been weaning myself down and Loren says it's all psychological, anyway.

Which of course begs the question: do I wish to sleep well, without the aid of half a pill? Or be wakeful and prove Loren wrong?

Life poses difficult dilemmas, heh, heh :-D
