I slept in till nearly 7 this morning! Wow! And then we took off to the gym, nice and early. So morning blogging didn’t happen.
Heck, I don’t know what my schedule is. I’m just making it up as I go along. How about early-evening blogging? While Mark makes dinner? Sure, let’s try that.
At! Long! Last! Our morning glories are blooming.
Grew these from seeds from Mom & Stepdad; healthy tall vines sprouted almost at once, and climbed to the top of the greenhouse (from the ground one floor below), but…no buds. No blooms. Till now!
Lots of buds now. This should be fabulous.
Also, one of our matilija poppies is putting up a bud!
We just planted them this year, and they (well, their cousins) bloomed in California months ago, so we figured it would be next year, but–there it is!
(Here’s a photo from the internet of what the flowers look like:
Like a big fried egg!)
So that’s the news from the garden.
The rest of the day was filled with: working on Q&T; checking the Twitter stream for news of the Hugos, then finally just giving up and watching the Hugos live-streamed (imperfectly, but hey) from London (congrats Ellen and Kameron and Charlie and Mary Robinette and everyone!!); then working on Q&T; then going over to my friend H’s bed & breakfast to do a room clean (she’s away this month, but has a few non-breakfast guests; I am being Substitute Innkeeper for her); then finally working enough more on Q&T that I actually finished a chapter. Woohoo!
And the rumor is that there will be dinner soon. Double woohoo!
