Yesterday Jess and Eric took me to see “Project Hail Mary”, amaze amaze amaze happy happy!! Fist my bump!!  I haven’t been to an actual movie in a theatre in decades, and I’m glad it was this one.  I dare you to come out of that movie not encouraged to keep living.

Then I spent the night at Avdi’s and of course couldn’t sleep most of the night, though it was very quiet.  This morning I got up, caffeinated, and went outside.  It got up to about 80º, gorgeous and windy, then misted up a little later, as I was finishing up  garden work.

I direct-sowed a lot of flowers, in a lot of beds.  Shade wildflowers, marigolds, nasturtium, cosmos, amaranthus, and sunflowers.  Then straw-mulched and watered. I also re-hoed around the veg garden for Y to plant his flowers.

I drove over to Value Plants to see if they had purple coral bells, which they did, so I brought it home and planted it in the hosta garden.  If you’re going to have hostas, which were here before us, you must have dark purple coral bells!

So many new flowers keep blooming!  I’ve worked hard to facilitate a mini-botanical garden, and it’s really starting to come together.  It’s now almost to the point where I can somewhat sit back and just let everything grow in and take over.  That is, after I plant all the veggies and more flowers!
