Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

The Dahlias are coming!

Well, it's Tuesday.  This is my last day off, tomorrow I go back to work.  I'm not excited.
My sister, brother and I are having breakfast this morning.  They're getting their copies of The Body in the Tower.  Yippee!
I do believe it rained most of the night.  My lawn's going to be too wet this afternoon to mow, and I'm not off again for 5 days... that's right, I get to work for 5 days before celebrating with 1 day off.  Then I work 5 more days.  This shitty schedule is my fault.  I did a request off believing the scheduler would be generous.  She wasn't.  Damn.
I saw this interesting tidbit from The Hill.  The Republican base truly is shrinking.  It looks like the Grand Old Part is really old... and white... and more than a little dumb, no doubt because of those silly red hats they wear.
I took a snap of some of my dahlias yesterday... in the drizzle.


There are more on the way.  Next year I think I'll put a bed of the out front among the roses.
And finally, Kaiser Chiefs are coming out with a new album on or around July 26.  The date is already on my calendar.  Here's the explicit version of their first release.


And, as always, the work continues.

  1. Ha! Let’s hope the GOP goes the way of the dinos. Sheesh! Their reactionary stance on everything is effing up the country!
    Love your flowers! I think I’m gonna do a windowsill garden this year 😎

    1. You can buy them, they're expense, or just go out to LA, I understand there's at least half of one out there....

  4. That's a dahlia? Pretty! I've never seen one so I thought they would look more like lilies for some reason. Instead, I get cheery pom poms!

    1. Not much of a scent but they are bangers when it comes to beauty.

    1. Hello Dahlia. Well hello Dahlia.
      Now get into Maddie's vase where you belong!

      I probably should've resisted, huh?
