Not a rant.  I’m all ranted out for now, you’ll be relieved to know.  Instead, you get lots more gorgeous flowers!

Today was mowing day, in which I got to try out my fancy new grass trimmer, in addition to my electric mower, while E rode around the vast estate on her red pony.  Then I did some more garden maintenance, while E built a thing for the kitchen.  Lots of time on our hands.

Then I made a fun salad featuring fresh-cut lettuces and greens, snow peas, carrots, red onion, pecans, walnuts, cheeses, eggs, and a homemade creamy vinaigrette.  Then I tried to take in all these beautiful colors out in the “prairie” and around the house.  For some reason they remind me of tropical summer drinks.

Nature is so transfixing; who needs trauma TV.
