Fresh air (updated)

Update: I kept fixing the grammatical errors in the post. And then I was going to see if I could catch fireflies with my camera and discovered other photos I had taken over the weekend and added them in.

The flowers are a little behind this year, probably because of the cold spring. Check out what my yard used to look like.

Now it has been blossoming over the past couple of weeks though. These are perennials a previous tenant planted. Behind this one is some mesclun I planted.

The sunflowers I planted continue to grow! There are the two giant ones in the middle, a few smaller ones around, and then marigolds around the edge. The marigolds are blossoming now. The sunflowers got blown over a bit in the storm we had yesterday. When I got home today I put some sticks in and tied the flowers up so they will not get irreversible damaged. I want flowers!!

Over the weekend, I was quite productive. I did a few hours of work each day in my outdoor office. I did laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc. in between as breaks. The flower bed to the left is the one in this previous post too.

I had some visitors during my afternoon.

Some helped out.

Others were busy eating. Looks like you don't have to be early to get the worm!

Others hitched a ride in on my laundry doing unspeakable things (i.e. making little baby fireflies).

AND it is strawberry season. CF and I picked ~12 pounds in maybe 20 minutes. If I had space and the canning jars, I would have picked more and done some canning. Instead, I have had strawberry shortcake with homemade biscuits almost twice a day every day this week.

I proceeded to dump them on the floor. I stepped on one. Oops. I cut them all up and froze them in small batches so that they would not go bad after being bruised.
