Bit of gardening, deadheading, pulled an armload of daylily foliage, and observed, outside the fence, this hardy soul.
The pansies bloomed from April to August through all the heatwaves, undeterred, then when they finally wilted, I put the pot outside the fence for the winter. And now she seems to be saying hey, not so fast!
Brown butterflies around, too, I've forgotten what they are for the moment.
And a great half hour walk, mostly on grass, some sidewalk, past groups of families putting kids on the bus for their first day. New shoes, backpacks, grandparents, parents, dogs, everyone seeing them off.
Funny how for the rest of your life, September is about going back to school. Even when you are only an innocent bystander, which I'm happy to be. Not even teaching a workshop, despite strenuous efforts to get me to. Just doing what I feel like.
Wheeeee!!
