(This wasn't fair since I could name at least a dozen. At least!)

Highlight of my garden today.

The Summer reading pile! Wish me luck that I get through it by the end of August!

Mandevilla on my patio garden. If anyone has tips on encouraging them to grow not just blossom (I do plan on bringing it in to overwinter), I'd be eternally grateful.

I grew up Catholic but I always thought this Lutheran church where I grew up was cool. When I was young I always imagined that it took off at night and was the reason for UFO sightings (disclaimer: Iwas six). As an adult, I lament we don't tend to build unique things much anymore.

I'm fairly sure it's going to take more than a sign at the mall this time.

Nothing ground breaking but I hope over the next few weeks the gardening really pops.

Awww! Blocked! Saved for posterity though.

I was hoping.

Huh. (It kills me some days but even if the Tangerine Bloviator drops dead tomorrow, I don't think I'll be back in my lifetime.) www.newsweek.com/map-shows-us...

Conga you say?

Caitlin is totally giving side eye.

I took this pic of my youngest today. She's a chaos agent.

Snacks.

The "fillers".

No cliffs here. Just cords. (It usually doesn't get hung up like this often but I lol every time I get a message. My favourite? "Bode completed a job" and then I yell "Nooooooooo!" like Darth Vader. Yes. I'm easily entertained.)

Oh yeah? We have a beaver on ours! ... Like we do every year because Parks Canada. (That would be hilarious to put the PC logo over his stoopid miserable puss.)

No cheating, reskeet with the most recent picture of your pet.

Gifts from home!

This one was good too.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains.

We never did get to the decorating stage.

If this asshole brings up the flowers one more gawddamn time...

I'm not sure this was a coincidence then.

The only thing the overgrown child on the right is missing from his outfit.

It's all understandable when you find out this was his mom.

I am not well versed in The Photoshop Tricks but if someone made this gold and in award size*, I would be eternally grateful. *for no particular reason, of course.
