..... all plans should be loosely woven.....

hahahhaha..... I was going to begin with the number 201...but how un-fun would that be? No subjects or fun titles? no little bit of intrigue or piquing of interest? ...

You know how when you carefully plan a day? And then... you get a phone call? somebody cancels... or the weather changes? the golf course closes on account of lightening.. or.. the car quits.. or .. well, if you like to make lists or plans..then you know it all too well. A perfect reason to make them loosely woven... plenty of room for spontaneity or changes... or to crumple and toss them entirely... OR... better yet... keep them and remember to write down all the extras you did during a pretty busy day and pat yourself on the back when you glance at it last thing before a well deserved early night! .... sometimes I make lists, but mostly don't bother anymore. Decided it was a waste of time making them as I never seemed to accomplish most of what seemed important in the morning. Life got in the way...or I didn't feel like doing some things..or other "stuff" just became more fun. Like, going outside and forgetting to come back in. I do it for hours at a time. How that many hours can fly by while I pick and dig I don't know..but they do.













The last beautiful petals of the spent peonies....













a few bright rays of sunshine through the leaves of the Mayday. Good thing I looked up...... cuz, I realized how black it was to the north... and sped up more than a notch..










.... still wanted to mow the lawn in preparation for a few dim days with the forecast of showers. Look Susan...I, too, have a "beast rouge" .. perhaps they're related? ..or are most beasts of the rouge variety? I'm pretty fond of Old Red... he does a great job and is totally reliable.













How do these little guys grow in such teensy spaces?... and so healthy looking too? the ones in my garden should be so green......













This sort of reminds me of Shakkei in Japanese gardening... .. the borrowing of a distant view through strategically pruned greenery or perhaps a window or door opening ..etc. .. except the viola is not very distant...
