Briefly

Although Monday, today turned out to be a windfall day off for me, so I won’t be online much. One of the cats injured his left foreleg and has been spending the weekend in the office, and it smells like it, so I’ll be outside in the fresh air today, shopping for new kitty litter boxes and hedgehog food, working out, taking a cello lesson, driving kids here and there, going to my shrink, in general doing all those things one does on a windfall day off.

To demonstrate what a nice pre-autumn day it is here today, here are a few pictures of the flowers growing in front of my house. They are ten feet tall.

    those are some really beautiful flowers. the blueness of your sky is fantastic. wish i could see autumn (hong kong having nothing but tropical weather still – it is 26 degrees celsius at NIGHT).

  3. Er- I think it’s time to mow the lawn, mig.

  4. It’s still summer here, but we had winter for a few hours on Sunday:
    Our flowers are only 8′ tall.

    The sky really is that blue. I was going to make the colors more intense in photoshop, but there was no need.
    Chris: hah. And my bushes need to be trimmed. And my fruit trees should be pruned, but I want to find someone who knows what they are doing to do it right for me this fall.
    Jessica: yes, no html. Links are automatically inserted if you type in the raw url. I used to think it would discourage comment spam… it does help a bit against links in the body of the comment, but doesn’t seem to slow them down much. Beautiful flowers, you showoff.
