Yesterday i picked a bunch of wildflowers in my back yard. The purple asters are seven feet tall. My mother dug up a little clump of them years ago.
We would drive around with a couple of trowels and buckets with water, liberating a few ditch filling plants that were just going to get clobbered with poison and then the roadboys show up and scrapes the edges clean. I'm just trying to keep some of these old plants from disappearing. I find a lot of my favorite flowers live in ditches, lupines, asters, dame's rocket and my all time favorite, chicory. My god, the color of that plant is so intense and lovely,, and i have never been able to successfully transplant any. I would dig up plants, cut them back, plant them and water them regularly, but the chicory just not want to live in my yard.
The other two bad pictures are a watchband I made, it actually doesn't look too grotty off xcreen, and them a couple of tiny aprons I made out of some antique material a friend gave me...these are the things I do in the middle of the night when sleep eludes me. And then there is the picture my daughter took of me, i look almost ok! so I figured what the hell...
The sun is out, the breeze is ruffling the leaves and the video store called to tell me I have a free rental, so you know what that means, I'll have to go rent something, at least if it stinks I won't have wasted money on it.

Beautiful weather here this month, 70's, 60's, sunny, no rain in 16 days.
Jack and Dave are pretty tired this morning, the concert wore them out. I'm thinking they had to much honey.
