A real dilemma

Rogue flowers

What to write about? There's nothing in the news that I care to bring up, since it's all about the Republication National Convention this week. Even my favorite news shows, like the PBS News Hour, are being broadcast from Cleveland, where it's going on.

I smiled when I walked to the bus a couple of days ago and saw these flowers that decided that a crack between the brick wall and the sidewalk is enough room to send blooms out into the world. The wall is new and I think they had lots of space last year. They are pretty, aren't they?

The garden partiers

And we also had an impromptu gathering outside the garden one evening not long ago. I walked downstairs to water the garden, and they were, all enjoying an evening repast. I quickly joined them. A community garden has many facets, not the least of which is getting to know your neighbors in a different way.

I didn't forget to water my plants, which also needed some refreshment. Life is good here in midsummer. Actually, it's pretty wonderful year round, although different in January, as it would be pitch black at this time of day. Summertime!
