Well, my hollyhocks out by the mailbox are... GONE. They had mostly gone to seed and many were brown, so I went out at 6 a.m. this morning (with my still-sore elbow), and cut and pulled out what I could. There are about 3 left with blooms, so I left those. I managed to rake the area, but I can't hold the weeder to finish it off, so that will have to wait. I made a huge pile of the stalks and I want to go out later and shake all the seeds out and collect them for this next fall when I can plant them again.
I drove up to the horse ranch yesterday for a quick visit, brushed 2 of the horses, gave them their wormers, and chatted with the ranch owner for quite a while. It was nice up there, but by 11 a.m., it was getting warm. I stopped by their local thrift store and got 7 pieces of really beautiful lace curtains to cut up for my journals, then home for a 90 minute nap!
Happy Fathers' Day to all you dads out there...grandfathers, too! :-)
