Hmm. Will the neighbours hate me if I take an enthusiastic almost-three year old outside in the yard at 6:43 am on a Sunday morning?

Maybe so.

Dusty got up at 4:55am this morning. Ugh. I can't function. And he's so whiny whiny whiny. I have so much to do today - I want help with the kid! I want a nanny! I want a husband who doesn't sleep all day! (well, he works nights.)

Every time we go grocery shopping, I try to sneak another perennial into the cart. I adore the end of the season when they're all really cheap, because they look 84 percent dead. Anyway, yesterday I picked up a torch lily and slapped it into the herb garden.

I sure wish I could fast forward a year or two to see what all the perennials will look like!
