summer's here


in honor of the first monday of summer, i broke out the skort. ah. what an invention! people over 40 rejoice with me!! this particular version has weird knit biker shorts built in underneath. i don't know yet, but i bet i can sweat and will still be comfy in skorty goodness!

he he. skorty goodness. ah, to live a grateful life...


in other news, the perennial beds are looking nice. they don't normally get watered, unless it's really bad. so, they liked the rainfall.


Lord, help me to quit buying plants! this flat of moss roses will have to go somewhere. better keep digging up dirt, i guess...


you couldn't resist either, right?!


oh. the unfurling. going quite nicely, thanks. i may have a giant caladium by summer's end!

whew. okay. monday mode, monday mode, monday mode.
:) wishing you as much luck with that as i'm having!

Happy Monday! I am 1.5 years from the skorty goodness, but you make me smile, all the same.

I kind of always thought they were for little girls who sit with their legs open..

I love those roses. Are they full-sun?

moss roses are not really roses. they are, um, succulents :)

yeah. they love the sun.

ps. they are basically a weed. they are related to purslane, which i guess is edible, but to me is just a really annoying weed.

much prettier, tho!

Succies!!!!

Darn, I really have no full-sun in my forest. Oh, well. I'll have to be content with your pics.

I am 5 plus years from the skorts, but alas I am wearing one today.

I have always been ahead of my time.

Happy Monday, B!

OK, I love skorts,especially my athleta one-very similiar pattern to yours bobbie-Moss roses are my oldests favorite thing to plant and they remind of me of my dad, he always had a big barrel of them because they reminded him of his grandma-kind of a tradition here.
