Roses and Butterflies on Wednesday

Rose Cuttings

 On Wednesday, M was here and he pruned the rose bushes.  He took some cuttings and set them in a pot with soil to see if they will root.  We spritzed the soil with some water, stood the pot in a bowl to catch any water that might seep out, stuck two chopsticks to act as supports, and covered the whole thing with a plastic bag:

The Covered Rose Cuttings

The chopsticks will hold the bag up and the bag will provide a nice humid environment.  We will now wait and see if anything happens over the next several days weeks. 

Wednesday was another sunny and warm day.  M enjoyed his share of the blueberry muffins and said he couldn't tell that the muffins were made without salt.  Later in the afternoon, during daughter's lunch break, we strolled around the garden for a little bit and admired the flowers and the plants.  She amused herself trying to take a picture of a painted lady butterfly:

Spot the Butterfly?

It's perched on one of the lantana flowers.

Do you see it now?

How about now?

I had a salmon sandwich for brunch and daughter had a bagel with salad and a fried egg.  For dinner, daughter had a burrito from the freezer and I had some spagetti with chicken.  We shared an apple for fruit and I had a cookie, too.  We both had cereal as a snack.

On Wednesday, I was grateful for:

- The lovely weather we are having
- M's help with the garden
- Time to relax and enjoy knitting
- Electricity

- Phone calls from friends

Wednesday's joyful activity was enjoying the garden with daughter.

Plans for Thursday include ordering groceries and knitting.
