Messing around with flowers brightens anyone’s day.
Good that they finally got flowers in the stores so she could have the petunias she waited so long for.

Good afternoon/evening/night Troops, wherever you are.
Thank you for doing your part to help keep all of us free and safe.
Thanks, unique, for the pastries.
Coffee is always on........
To: Kathy in Alaska
Guess the geranium just wanted some extra attention. :-)
Sounds like it’s working.
I just came in from watering flowers in three beds. They’re flowers Dad sent over the past few years so they’re a bit special to me. The water soaked right in .... no runoff. They were desperate for water.
Hope we get some rain soon. The grass is turning brown now and tree leaves are getting that dry look. I haven’t worked up the courage to walk out to the fields to look at the tiny soybeans closely.

Good night and sleep well when you get there.
I got a few little projects done...my Mom is doing a lot “talking” and “laughing” and “yelling”. I keep checking, but she’s asleep.
And now I’m going.
Good night!!!
