Sunflowers!

[days_unfolding]

I looked for some shaggy white bath mats to go with the towels and found some. The trick will be to corral the cat litter in the room.

Woke up at 7 AM. Fed us all. Oliver came over to me, and I was petting him, and Bella jumped on me. Jealousy….Lay down for a nap. Bella was barking at the bedroom door for reasons known only to her. I got up to take my meds, and she ate her food and settled down.

Had a nice nap. Oliver was on my lap loving me up, but Bella wanted to “play” with him, which involves pinning him down and biting him. Oliver does not like it. He bites Bella’s ears, but she doesn’t seem to care. Ate lunch. I’m going to lie down for another SHORT nap because I want to make it to Prairie Gardens.

Success. I made it to Prairie Gardens. I wasn’t thrilled with their selection, but I still left with coneflowers, coral bells, and dahlias. Then I went to Home Depot and bought sunflowers and Gerber Daisies. Then I had a gyro at Windy City Express.

Bella gave me her Munchie Bone. I’m honored :) I’m feeding the hordes. I really want to go to sleep soon.

Aargh. I forgot to get twine and metal stakes to mark out the expansion of the front garden. I’ll order it for delivery from Lowe’s.

Bella is fascinated by the sunflowers. I told her that she better watch out because they’re bigger than she is.

I love sitting outside at twilight. It’s so pretty and peaceful. But Bella attacked one of the Gerber Daisies, sigh. It was the only yellow one that they had. I was not pleased and marched her inside the house.

I started on my list of bills for my end-of-life notebook. I told Dad that I was going to make one and to make sure my bills were on automatic payment. Not that I'm planning to drop dead any time soon, but it's good to get things organized.
