More local stuff

 

Every other day or so I walk up the steep hill of our parking lot...and this wall and slightly overgrown flowers are at the utmost top.

An unusual variety of day lily...variegated!

It looks like the ants responded to the ant bait treatment...last week they were all over these marigolds!

Impatient? I think so. Raindrops didn't phase this bloom!

Many of the petunias looked beaten down by the frequent rains in the last few days.

But I loved seeing this bloom with a raindrop caught on its lip.

On North Fork Rd you can see one of the rock quarries. From the amount of dump trucks on our roads, I would guess there are more around the bend.

Today's quote:

If you want to have a full and happy life, in good times and in bad, you have to get used to the idea that facing misfortune squarely is better than trying to escape from it.

NORMAN FISCHER

However, to escape from the virus of the past year, it seemed to be a good idea!
