Snippets of Saturday

Some shots of a couple of my pots-O-happy I took this morning while having coffee on the deck. They haven't been scorched by the sun and heat yet, but a predicted heat wave this week might make them sad and droopy. I am not looking forward to HHH weather. Today was bad...I had to take a pain pill in the middle of the afternoon because the change in weather gave me much hurt. Better now, but still more pain than I care to handle. I knitted on the deck pretty much all afternoon until the sun came around and it got to hot. Reggae was a very good cat and didn't do his Houdini impression and stayed in my sight. Here is the king of the back yard this afternoon.

Later, inside, he hopped into a basket I've been using for holding yarn and projects. It was empty; it must have looked inviting. He rolled around in it for a while, it was cute. :-)

I took cuttings of some of the perennials in my gardens. There are some purple cone flowers, hydrangea, yarrow, rudebecia goldstrum, and a flower from one of my hostas. I've been growing them for years, but I never realized the cone flowers smelled so sweet. No wonder the butterflies and bees are attracted to them. Lots of butterflys and bees around the garden today. I noticed the trumpet vine is about to bloom and the honeysuckle is about to do it's 2nd bloom, so hopefully the hummingbirds will be here soon.
