Since 3 a.m., according to the Game Farm Road logger. You can almost hear the soil going ’schluuuuuuuurpppppp’.
Grass will need mowing next weekend.

Pretty low key. Caught up on some weeding and reading. Mowing and putting a new weed-whacker to work. Biggest news was Rosie (Elly’s Airstream) returning from Franks Trailer Works in Baltimore with a new floor and other structural improvements.
Elly got right to work sealing up leaks so she can dive into the wiring and interior rebuild.
Fred helped …
… when he wasn’t too busy looking cute.
(The poochers got way too much attention.)
With Rosie sitting at least 6 inches higher, Jade found a new shady spot to hang out on hot days.
And I took far fewer pix than I thought I would, given all the free time.

I usually cram the scanner bed with blooms. But I was in the mood for singles this morning. Thanks, as usual, for Carol for hosting at May Dreams. More scans here. Flower scanning directions are here. Practice up. I’ll be judging the Picture This contest in October. See Nan’s post and scans. Click on images for larger views.

This time of year, the sun slips in under the spruce near sunset. It’s a great time to be outside with a camera. I liked the image I got of cleomes and eucomis a few days ago. But this light makes all the difference.
