‘Stay-cation’

Pretty low key. Caught up on some weeding and reading. Mowing and putting a new weed-whacker to work. Biggest news was Rosie (Elly’s Airstream) returning from Franks Trailer Works in Baltimore with a new floor and other structural improvements.

With Rosie sitting at least 6 inches higher, Jade found a new shady spot to hang out on hot days.

Bloom day scans – Singles

I usually cram the scanner bed with blooms. But I was in the mood for singles this morning. Thanks, as usual, for Carol for hosting at May Dreams. More scans here. Flower scanning directions are here. Practice up. I’ll be judging the Picture This contest in October. See Nan’s post and scans. Click on images for larger views.
