It’s now.

It’s now.

The background on my laptop is (mostly) a collection of pictures that other people created. When I can find the creator, I have made a note of where I found it. They are interesting enough images that I think I want to share them. BUT, I’m not going to use them as a cheat. I’m still trying to offer up at least one new thing from me every day. These will be bonus.
Also.
I go to art museums and see work that just rocks my socks and I take pictures to share. Then….. I don’t. So. Another bonus possibility.

This is a picture I took when my backyard looked different than it does now. But, I love all of it. The iris is ‘Red Hawk’ and those raised bed were overwhelmed by trees-of-heaven, which is why we are using the water troughs, now. Also, I loved the bright blue shed. But, it looked stupid when we had the house resided. So, it is no longer that color.

I spotted this by the alley as I walked in to work this morning. Johnny said “I don’t think I’d mess with that .”
Really?
I’m just not sure what’s going on with this porch.

I’m going to be watching to see what the plan is.
I bought new work gloves today. BEFORE I did this.

I got a lot of the front beds managed, though. The gardenias are out of the pots and in the ground. Thyme and sage are transplanted. And I cleaned up after myself.
Now, I’m sitting in an upholstered chair with a beach towel on it to catch the sweat and drinking a gin and tonic
Yes, I did have a liter of water first.
Ghod, I need a shower.
