Long, Lazy Day
I've done almost nothing today. Dave says that's alright since I've not had a day off in over three weeks. If I haven't been attending classes or rehearsals or physical therapy, I've been working on my exit project. Most days, I've had some combination of the four. But not today.
Today, I slept in. (Until 8:30!) And it was such a lovely morning that I turned off the furnace and opened all the windows. They're still open, and it's still lovely out, though beginning to get dark. Then I let myself read a novel, did some web surfing and played with the cats.
I also did some grocery shopping, emptied all the old liquids in the refrigerator into the compost bin, and began working up two different possible upper-division acting classes. And just now, I removed most of the dying daffodils from around the beech tree in the front yard. Which reminds me, I have an announcement to make.
I planted 50 giant, yellow daffs and 30 Red Parade perennial tulips in the bed under the beech last fall. The tulips are just beginning to bloom, now that the daffs are going off, though in some people's yards (right around the corner, for instance) they bloomed together. Anyhow, after deadheading the daffs, I counted the stalks. I put 60 stalks in the compost bin, and there are still 9 daffs in great shape on the north side of the tree. In other words, I got 69 flowers out of 50 bulbs.
This is why I love gardening.
The above photo was taken last Sunday. As was this one:
