sweet peas.....

ok, so i am easily amused.......and i will admit to being downright giddy to discover that at least 1 clump of sweetpeas that i planted early in the spring has sprung forth with blooms.....on the pyramidal garden feature....next to the clematis that did not bloom...go figure......the sweet peas in question are cherry red....and so very quaint......the garden has morphed from the creams and pinks of rose season to the oranges and yellows of daylilies, coreopsis, and rubdekia.......the daisies i grew from seeds (heirloom seeds dating back to the lewis and clark expedition as purchased at monticello) are still blooming, but they became so tall they drooped under their own weight.....and are now somewhat deformed and difficult to display in a vase......oy......not that the roses are completely gone...frau karl druschki is just beginning to bloom.....i bought this lovely hybrid perpetual at the aldi's for $3.99...no fragrance...just lovely and large creamy blooms.....i must baby it in hopes of getting an actual rebloom....as promised by the descriptive....perpetual.......and the 4 musk roses.....robin hood (3) and belinda (1) at the corners of the house are still going strong.......curious that we have had no beetles....knock on wood for luck.......all this garden banter is preferable to a recollection of my day at work.......the highlight....hmm.....none, rather a series of lowpoints......such as the woman who just had her 4th baby......and brought him home in time for her spouse to leave her for a 16-year-old.......she had a hormone patch over his name that was tatooed on her arm......a curious juxtaposition.......for the words ortho evra to partially obliterate the name james........surrounded by....roses in pastel pinks......just too sad........
