Forget Me Nots

I got out the big camera, for a change. All these were taken with a Lensbaby 2.0. Close-ups were taken with a macro filter.

And guess what? My car still isn’t fixed. They put everything back together and still couldn’t get the brake lines to pressurize, because the master cylinder is also shot. So that’s going to double my repair bill. They said the part should arrive tomorrow morning, and they promised it would be ready to pick up by the end of the day tomorrow.

I thought that the one silver lining of losing Frances, and it was a pretty piss poor one, was that I would finally be done hemorrhaging ridiculous amounts of money. HA! No, I would not be that lucky.

Forget-me-not

This flower pot is a popular napping spot for the feral cats. I put an end panel from a dog crate over it, to discourage them, which seems to be working well. Yay!

And then, since something worked for me, the damn deer ate my day lilies. We are not allowed to have nice things, obviously.

Bumblebee and Echinacea

The echinacea near the loading dock was swarming with bumblebees when I left work this affernook.

Coreopsis

The funny looking weedy things growing in my flower pots alongside the volunteering forget-me-nots finally bloomed and showed themselves to be coreopsis. I’m glad I didn’t pull them out!

Lilies

I stopped at Kroger on my way home from work. They were completely out of Halo Top ice cream. Boo! But there were some gorgeous pink lilies in front of the store, so I took some photos.

Forget-me-nots

Forget-me-nots are volunteering in all of my flower pots. They must have reseeded themselves last fall, because I didn’t plant any this year.

Look, a Flower!

June 18, 2016 Shelly

Somehow all of my flowers did not die of neglect. This day lily is blooming, and another variety is full of buds. And most of the seeds I planted last weekend are sprouting, which is kind of exciting.
