There is nothing sadder than a sad, sad Boxer.

Drawing Table
I spent weeks getting rid of junk, so of course when I visited my mom over Memorial Day weekend, she sent me home with more stuff. Cool stuff, though! The drawing table has a cast iron base. At some point someone used double sided carpet tape to secure a self-healing cutting mat to the top, so I need to go over it with goo remover to get rid of the adhesive residue. Other than that, it’s in good antique shape.
The clamp light was a bonus.
Butterfly Bush Will Not Die
I worried in the spring that a late frost had killed off my butterfly bush. The leaves all turned black and fell off. Apparently they are made of stern stuff, because it’s come back with a vengeance.
Columbine Seeds
My mom said she’d like seeds from my columbine plants, so I went out today and harvested some. The Rose Barlow aren’t dry enough yet, and there are about 10x more pink seeds left on the plant, waiting to dry. I got all the White Barlow and wild columbine seeds, though.

Very interesting things were going on outside. Too interesting to bother with boring old me.
The Last Box
I had one final box of junk to sort. I’ve been carting it around, unopened and uninvestigated, for at least 20 years. It was full of candle holders. (And a figural bottle depicting a black woman. I have no idea where it came from, no idea why I have it, and no idea what to do with it. I guess give it to Goodwill?)
Anyway, that’s a lot of candle holders THAT I DO NOT NEED.
