been getting up around six so that I can get in a bit of the Olympic coverage before work…

today it was dark enough that I needed to turn on the light in the bedroom, sigh…

then I went down the stairs and saw this…

absolutely stunning sky… took out the screen so that I could get a clear picture… 

made me realize that I’d just opened that window and I had to run and close it so no bugs came in, lol…

yesterday I picked up some gladiolas when I was at the grocery store as a special treat…

although they are white, (I love the purple ones) they are stunning… in the process of checking on the correct spelling I discovered some interesting facts about flowers and birth months, lol…

decided to take a few stems to the office to brighten up my space…

so they travelled in the passenger seat…

a number of colleagues asked if they were from my garden… would be amazing if I could grow something like this in the garden…
