So, the book a day thing is only for during the week. Weekends, apparently, are for no free time at all.

Went to Charleston this weekend. Michael’s mother turned 60, so we went down to surprise her. Spent time with her, and with Michael’s sister and her family. I actually took pictures of Wilson, his nephew, however most of those pictures just showed a small blur where Wilson was supposed to be, so you mostly get Maggie. Who is really very adorable.

If pictures of people you don’t know, and don’t care about aren’t your thing, I have some new flower pr0n.

My lavender is in bloom, which makes me very happy, since I love lavender. I’m glad I planted it by the driverway, so I can smell it every time I walk by. Additionally my day lilies are blooming like crazy, which gives extra color along the front of the house.

And my red rose bush has bloomed. We bought the bush reduced for quick sale a couple years ago, and for the last two years I kept thinking the thing was dead, but then it would surprise me and keep stuggling along. So last fall we moved it closer to the house, where the soil is better and I can dump water off the porch onto it when it looks dry. This year it went mad, and has huge, red blooms, that are taking days to open. And they have a very spicy smell, so I really should cut one to bring in.

Except for the fact that it will immediately be chewed on. So perhaps not.
