Elliott has almost completely cleared the ivy that flowed over the fence and over these flower beds. A few hours work of us pulling roots today and planting a few perennials has the side of the garden looking so much better. 

At the plant sale today we managed to get up close and personal with some of the Brood X cicadas. They were flying everywhere but this chap stopped to say hello.

Very obviously saying, “What?” Rosie Lee had Elliott and I worried sick, thinking she’d escaped and was roaming the streets. She didn’t come when called, numerous times. We’d searched every nook and cranny of the house with flashlights, plus gone out driving, looking for her. 3 hours later, she appeared in the house, and we have no idea where she had been hiding. But we’re so glad she’s safe, even if she is a very naughty girl. And yes, she got treats. And cuddles.

An icy glass of water, thanks to Elliott, bringing me ice to chill my drink as I wrote my blog.

Outside work we have sparrow, grackle, and here, starling families hopping about, the babies nearing independence as they grow as large as their parents.

A longhorn and her posse of goat buddies, seen driving home from work.

We enjoyed a lazy day today, relaxing indoors and out on the patio, relishing the plants growing and each other’s company.
