Late cosmos

I'm sure that I threw a handful of wildflowers in amongst the echinaceas. Finally I have a few rogue cosmos appearing.

Lots of back exercises, carefully and slowly stripping and remaking my bed over the entire day, and a slightly longer short walk made up my day. Jasper still trotted along behind me.

My back started out stiff and sore but improved over the day.

I had the strange experience of talking to a friend in Christchurch on the phone as a short, sharp quake hit. It didn't reach here.

Today's gratitude: For sitting outside enjoying the sun and my garden.
