Today's activities







So I bought a mirror to put on the lower part of the porch. I'm just afraid you really can't see the black against the dark wood.



Maybe red/purple? shiny silver? What to do, what to do.

In exciting news- our crepe myrtle has bloomed.

Current state of the flowers

When last we met the morning glories were mere little bits of greenery poking up from their peat pots. Now 3 months later- here are 4 of those plants.

Incredible no?! 2 around the sign post and 2 more by the postbox. For some reason only the ones around the sign are flowering. The 2 around the front of the mailbox- very green but no flowers. Here are a few of the flowers. The only trick is you really do have to go out in the morning to see them. By noon they have all closed up.



In the backyard we planted some sunflower seeds. They are coming up, just a bit slowly.



Down the road a ways there is a field full of sunflowers. Hopefully the backyard will look like this some day.
