mythicalgirlWork is the usual - we aren't going to talk about that right now.
When not working (HA!) I've been working on the flower bed in the back corner of the yard. This space used to have trees before I had them taken out. I started a perrenial garden back there last year. This year I've been adding to it.
These pics were taken last weekend - I've made some additions and put down some mulch since then (as in today). More pics later.
Hot Papaya Cone Flower
I also added Pow Wow Berry Cone Flower, Mount Hood Cone Flower and Coreopsis. Disregard the weeds. Please.
The other day I was fixing my lunch while getting ready for work when I saw movement out the corner of my eye. Something was crawling across my driveway. It took a minute for me to realize that it was a turtle! I went outside and sure enough I had a turtle in my driveway. Since it was going to be something like 95 degrees I put on my gardening gloves, picked him up and took him back over the the pond. The pond has steep banks covered with rocks (to keep the muskrats from burrowing) so I couldn't get him all the way down to the water. So I gently tossed him back into the pond. He didn't float back up so I'm assuming he was OK. I mean turtles can swim and it's not like I lobbed him into the water.
Here's the pic I took of him:
More pics, mostly of the gardens and the raised bed veggie patch later.
