Today I wasn’t doing so well, but I had motivation…laundry!  Piles and piles of backed-up laundry at the Avdi’s.  I was determined to get to the literal bottom of it, so I did.  I nearly got washer hypnosis!  Also ran a couple of dishwasher loads.

I watered the garden, then planted the new mini-rose in front near the other one.  Y and I watched the newly-sighted pipevine swallowtail caterpillars on the dutchman’s pipe vine.  They’re a striking example of native species that evolved together to be of exclusive mutual benefit.  There were quite a few of them.
