Doing the garden,
Digging the weeds
Who could ask for more?
Yes, today is Sir Paul McCartney's birthday -- his 64th birthday...
Will you still need me
Will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four

Of course since I'm a mere sixty-three I can chuckle at that...
I did a lot of digging in my garden last weekend. I put in a lot of lettuce
(about half romaine and half red leaf) and some cucumbers and two different
kinds of eggplant plus four tomato plants. Yesterday I added some parsley
and two different kinds of basil. I also did a lot of digging in a different
area nearby where I'm thinking of putting in some zucchini and maybe some
yellow squash. I had planned on heading off to a plant nursery sometime
this afternoon to get the squash and maybe some more lettuce, but I've
run out of energy.
We've got summer weather -- bright and sunny, in the upper seventies (25
or 26 C) -- I went out for a run a bit past noon, did a couple of miles
in the sun and began to melt, so I came back home and headed down to the
cooler air in the basement to ride my exercise bike and lift some weights.
I still feel rather melted so I'm just taking things easy for the rest
of the afternoon.
I do the food-producing gardening... Nancy does the decorative gardening...

These flowers caught my eye earlier today when I was out back taking the
picture of my vegetable garden; the color just seemed to leap out at me.
(It's a variety of Asiatic lily.)
