It’s about 88º, feels like 90-something. We got out early and mowed the acreage. E expanded the “prairie” area farther up the hill, another step toward reducing lawn. I did some garden maintenance. Lizards were scampering around in the hot sun.
Then I took the obligatory photos, including a wren parent on the porch! Also what I think is a red paper wasp. And the first of many marigold flowers. By the way, once you have marigolds, you never have to buy seeds again! They reseed everywhere. Same with multi-colored sweet williams (a Dianthus), bachelor’s buttons (Centaurea), and poppies, once they’re established.
Now E is making breads, apparently a common new pastime during the pandemic, since we want to avoid stores. More on that later.
