I did that thang

I cut the grass alongside the road in our neighborhood today. It's an agreement that I have with the county commissioner. I cut the roadside and he doesn't send trucks down my road spraying herbicides. Bees don't do well with chemicals, especially when things are in bloom.

When we drove in yesterday, I noticed that the grass had grown a good bit since I last mowed it so, when I got home this evening, I jumped on the mower and did that thang.

On the way back, I noticed a vine with red blossoms near a neighbors mailbox. Pulling to the edge, I snapped a few pictures. The sun what bright and I wasn't sure how the flowers would look in such harsh light, but they don't look too bad.

  3. I was telling Sherry a day or two ago on our walk, "I love it when the sun 'light's up' red flowers." S then pointed out some BRIGHT red flowers that had caught the sun 'just right.'
