Today's morning walk was shorter because I was a bit tired from yesterday's exertion which included a five minute HIIT workout in the evening with April and Eiko.
It's cool and bright-cloudy today, just what a lot of wildflowers like, such as these dayflowers
Blue points of color among the pachysandra
Down the street there's a nice show of white daisies and yellow orange daylilies
The fuzzy hair tells you the humidity is up there. Here's a couple of shots of those fancy designer details (!)
And the Misfits bag is out for pickup.
I recently asked Misfits if they did a senior discount, and they replied no, but we do notify you of specials. It was worth a try in this expensive year.
While I was waiting, I decided it was cool enough to prune the sage.
In the foreground a bunch of leaves, which have now gone to friends, one of whom came right down the street to collect and chat.
Then Haleem arrived, effortlessly swinging a box of groceries onto the step.
Some of the canned goods are for the food pantry, the bread is to avoid baking in a heatwave, the chocolate bar is for my nerves, and the fruit needs no introduction. Except the apples are Rockit, small and crunchy. The peaches need a day or two, then I may freeze them.
The graham crackers are a current taste, crumbled into yogurt with lime or lemon juice.
In food and gardening, when I was clearing the counters ready for misfits prep, I notice several tiny potatoes now sprouting. So I sliced off just the sprouting areas, diced and roasted the rest for lunch with malt vinegar, and planted the sprouts in a container. Waste nothing.
This afternoon is about reading and dozing on the deck, and admiring my pruning. Unless a lot of insurance related calls and messages happen.
Happy day, everyone, seize the day and the potatoes.
