Another day - flowers 06-08-22

I didn't drive to San Diego today for the meeting of the art quilt group I belong to.  I just didn't have the energy for the two + hours down and another two + hours back.  But I did have some errands to do and was in the vicinity of Armstrong Nursery which I have been going to visit for at least a month.  Needed rose food and some marigolds to plant with my tomato plant.  The garden center is chock-a-block with blooming everything, very beautiful, but I was pressed for time so didn't take pictures.  I had KoKo with me riding in the cart and being a good dog.  The clerk Nicole was very helpful and friendly, hope she is there when I ever go back again.  Along with the marigolds I bought a single Coreopsis plant, just because I used to always have some in my yard.  They make me feel good!  

KoKo, Nicole, Coreopsis, and Marigolds.  

Then I met friend Carol for lunch at Blue Agave restaurant in Yorba Linda - it was delicious and I didn't need dinner tonight.  The food is sort of modern Mexican and they were very busy.  Because it was about 80F we ate inside, but felt well socially distanced. 

By the time I was home again I had to have a nap and just sort of passed out for several hours.  This being tired all the time is a huge waste of time.  KoKo and I spent about 20 minutes looking for Froggy - where could he be?  Ah-h-h-h, I finally thought to look in the recliner.  Yep, there he was trapped, why couldn't KoKo see or smell him.  Once I showed him where that frog was he grabbed hold and tugged and tugged.  I had to sit down and recline to let him loose.

Last of the peonies 06-06-22

Cut peonies don't last very long, they are happier uncut and out of doors.  But I have enjoyed them so much over the years.  I love seeing them open from their hard, tight buds and spread wide open, changing color every day.  Mine were white when the petals started falling last evening and the largest flower was a bit over six inches.  They have gone into the yard trimmings barrel, but I have pictures to enjoy! 

I am still not feeling well and have no energy.  I haven't received my second booster because the previous shots have put me down for a couple days and I already feel bad.  Maybe later this week.  Meanwhile several people I know have contracted the virus lately - after being vaccinated and boosted.  After two years of avoiding it!  I am still masking when I go out and trying to social distance even when masked.
