Blogging the Day Away

Thanks to June's suggestion, I'll be posting periodic updates on the absolutely fantastic happenings around our house today. Stay tuned...

6:30 am Slept in for a whole hour this morning. I'm about to have my usual bowl of oatmeal.






























7:00 Ready for my first cup of coffee




























My day is just TOO exciting...

9:30 am Thinking about caulking the new bathtub. Hmm. Sounds like work.
































12:45 Nap time. No pictures here.
4:00 No, I actually didn't sleep all this time. I GOT THE TUB CAULKED! I'm happy I got that done but it's not really worthy of a photo.

Another thing I did was water outside plants. Here are photos, first of a baby watermelon (so cute when they're little!):

Next, a large seed pod of a Green Dragon plant:



Next, watering a bush:


Watering a sedum:



Next, watering a Dwarf Alberta Spruce:



and cantaloupes:


I took some time to admire Prairie Area #1. Newly planted this spring, I'm having some difficulty telling the weeds from the prairie plants but Blazing Star is visible in this area.


This is Prairie Area #2. There's more to see here. The pink plant is Swamp Milkweed.

Lots of these:


I think this is Hoary Vervain:



This grass doesn't seem to be on the list of seeds that I got so I have NO IDEA what it is:


And finally, we have Partridge Pea:


A final photo from this afternoon - I checked the mailbox:


I'll be back with end-of-the day posts at the end of the day!

8:15 pm It's not quite the end of the day but close enough. I learned more about using Blogger - it has some quirks I'm still figuring out. I had fun doing this and look forward to reading blogs of others who participated. Thanks for the suggestion, June!

The sun is setting. And so, to bed.

You are over there living my life, I hope you know. It's so PRETTY where you are!

I was positively riveted to the plant pictures. That pea thing! So cool!

And congrats on caulking the tub.
