Dirt Track date!

at the Paradise Speedway in Geneva

Look-at-me Ma! (the guy in blue is really the driver, but he kindly allowed me to try out the seat (which I was not unhappy about, though this picture looks otherwise - hmm, I need to smile more :))

I just learned about rainbow roses - never knew such things existed! Not sure I'd like a whole bouquet, but they are kind of amazing looking

Who needs a Florida palm tree sunset? We have a baby catalpa with the sky on fire!

dogs & dogwood

Will you do me a kindness?

Come on people!

Every time I start playing Beatles on YouTube, I eventually end up at this song...
After a few recent conversations, I feel like it needs to play on repeat again!



And all together now:

Hess gas station, Canandaigua

weeds

actually photos from last Friday...




it's been too wet to mow - the weeds are looking prettier than the gardens so far this spring

Saturday: overcast + soggy = perfect for digging in the mud!
(yeah, not sure why I wore a white sweatshirt - but it's the official gardening shirt now)



these are the only tulips that bloomed, after the deer ate so many of the shoots this spring :(
