So This Is Blooming!
Again.
Right on time.
Sweet alyssum. White. Early bloomer.
So…
Last week was a blur of being out in the garden as much as possible. Crawling around on my hands and knees. Bent over a rake. Sitting on a stool. Trying not to fall on my ass. Praying a bug didn’t crawl up my pant leg. Gloved and stylin’ in one of G-Man’s long-sleeved shirts. Wearing the ugly hat.
SOP for MOM — Standard operating procedure for month of May.
Last week was all about being outdoors as much as possible. Not tied to a keyboard. Not slaving over a cold (and heartless) microwave. Not elbow-deep in clutter sort.
It was heaven.
You know what else was heaven? Yup. Gonna tell ya.
1 – Stumbling down to the kitchen Friday morning and spying a male cardinal having the time of his life taking a splash and roll bath in the birdbath. Where is the smartphone when you really need it? It would have been an epic little video.
2 – The first pedicure of the season, which I gift myself in Month of May. OPI California Raspberry. A total breakout color for me. The yummiest of deep pinks.
Pink? Pink, you say?
I know, right?
And Monday is in the house.
Give it your best shot.

I worked outside all day yesterday and a bit this morning. Felt good… but now my lazy winter muscles are screaming!
Of course they’re calling for snow flurries tomorrow.

You can’t catch a break, River. Head thunk. Oh, yes. I’m familiar with the lazy winter muscles. π

Spring has been non existent here. Really cold nights… and we’re lucky if we see mid 50’s during the day. Sooo much rain!

We’ve hit the low 60’s a couple of times. Mostly late 50’s. But we’ve had some good sun with the rain, and we’re missing all the flooding in Ontario and Quebec and New Brunswick. We’re not mud-sucking squishy-squashy.

We’ve been swampy for months. Had 2 dry days and tried to mow, trim, clean garden beds etc. Didn’t get it all done, but it’s a start!

California Raspberry is my all-time favorite OPI color and it’s no longer available around here. Not like sold out, like gone. Enjoy your pink little piggies!

Isn’t it a great color?! I’m glad I spied it. I already had I’m Not Really A Waitress Red in my right hand. π

I saw I’m Not Really A Waitress Red and I might get it later in the summer. It seems very *August* to me. π π»
