Have I used that title before? I don’t care if I did. Without going into tiresome details, I am in a mood to wuss out. Come to think about it, I have pretty much been wussing out since June. Judge me if you would like to. It is immaterial to me.
Anyways, my husband Steven and I took a short walk earlier. I took my trusty Tablet in hopes of getting enough pictures for a blog post. First I tried to get a shot of the Lutheran Church on the corner of German and Henry. The bright sunlight hindered me.
I run by this church almost every day.
Hmm. Not well centered but at least it’s not backlit. I did not have any more photo-ops on the walk so tried to pad things out with some shots of the lawn. If only I had done more yard work (refer to earlier remark about wussing out all summer) (and no, computer, I do NOT mean “sussing”!).
The best bloom so far.
Our Black-Eyed Susans have had a lot of greenery but few blooms so far. I am seeing a lot of buds, though, so things may improve. That patch also has chives, some of which I put in a macaroni salad earlier (ooh, I could have done a cooking post!), and an unidentified plant which I just noticed today.
If they bloom I’ll take another picture.
Next I got a shot of our Rose of Sharon, also not blooming.
At least it’s too big to get mowed accidentally.
We planted another plant when we did the Rose of Sharon, but I do not know what it is called.
It turns red in the fall.
Then I noticed some purple flowers I had not seen before, amongst the sadly overgrown stuff near the fence.
Can you see the fence starting to fall? I’ve been meaning to fix that.
Also never planted by us are some Brown-Eyed Susans. They first showed up a few years ago and there seem to be a lot of them now.
Also not blooming yet.
Now I see that title really does not fit the post. And yet I cannot think of anything better. Oh well, sometimes I have elements of Non-Sequitur Thursday on Wuss-out Wednesday. It happens. I prefer to look on the bright side: I’m closing in on 400 words, after not feeling able to frame a sentence earlier. Can better blog posts be far behind? I hope you’ll stay tuned to see.
