outdoor life
last weeks' plant purchases are in the ground, after digging all the weeds out of the flowerbeds out front. i suspect that the one patch of random stuff is probably lemon balm - it looks like mint but smells like lemon pledge when bruised. i'm leaving it for now until i can see it flower and be more sure. (and then, tea!) the rosebush (or is it rosebushes? there are many canes in a formidable tangle) is absolutely loaded with buds and one random open rose.
we bought a grill today and strings of outdoor lights. i have one string up and we'll see if it becomes a new Rodent Highway for the squirrels that live in the garage. as i was digging today i kept discovering buried peanut shells. later when i walked to the drugstore i discovered why - a squirrel was halfway down the tree out front with a peanut half-in and half-out of its mouth. i told it that they were best consumed immediately rather than stored and that it should stop using my flowerbeds. it listened attentively until i continued down the sidewalk, whereupon it zipped back up the tree.
i have a mild sunburn.
