Is this flax? About 18" tall, narrow leaves, five petals in clusters.
This is what happens when you strew wildflower mixed seeds and get results you like and can't identify.
I spent a quiet afternoon on the deck, reading and trying to identify little blue flowers and watching a cardinal and a house finch bobbing about the butterfly bushes. There were silver spot butterflies and those tiny brown ones, blue dragonflies and bees of all nations, right overhead.
If you sit quietly a while, you get to see a lot of wildlife, who seem to think this unmoving human is maybe like patio furniture, not threatening.
One time a wild rabbit came and sat close for about an hour. Female solidarity.
I recently experienced the equal and opposite of postponing a job forever then it takes two minutes. I was reading my Barbara Pym, when I suddenly thought I'm going to mop out the cabinet where the garbage and recycle goes.
It's under the knife drawer, never gets noticed, nor thought about. About five minutes later I was back in my book, cabinet mopped, dried, even the insides of the doors, and wondering how that happened, what suddenly overcame me? I hadn't even thought about cleaning it. It looks light years better now.
Thursday's supper was diced yellow potatoes, microwaved then roasted with cheddar cheese, chili oil generously sprinkled. No pictures, not photogenic, but whoa Nelly, was that good. Hot but great flavor, cheese all crackly, definitely going to do that again. That long red pepper flavor in the chili oil is just the best. Chili oil is really worth the trouble of making it.
I made it to Friday knitting group, and we were pretty colorful
Chat ranged over destination weddings, bridezillas, crocheting large sweaters for large fiances, sense of direction, scanners, medical websites, HOAs, weather, Chinese husbands, comp time, eyeglasses for Haiti and more.
Happy Friday everyone, enjoy the weekend
