I have really had my nose to the research grindstone today. I enjoy this so much. Then realized it was past 6 p.m. and dh would be home soon and I hadn't started supper. Then realized he had gone to the shiva - perhaps I should have also but too late when I remembered.
I didn't get all of a.m. routine done, so I'm doubling back on it.

-make the bed

-sort laundry and start a load to hang up
Speaking of flowers, I had a lot of volunteers from my "Cut and Come again Zinnias" last year, and I also scattered some seeds. I just picked myself a pretty bouquet that I'll put upstairs in my office to enjoy. They are mixed in with my two tomato plants - one of which is not happy - I just added another basil since there's room where not all the zinnia seeds sprouted and the second basil - in a raised bed - isn't happy either. And I can never ever have enough basil. In a good year I freeze some also.
Saw that a local sunflower farm is open for business. $15 for all the sunflowers you can get in a bucket, self picked. They do a big business with professional photographers coming in also for sessions.
