First, I have to compliment your little hawkbill pruner. Looks like an easy carry for just in case while puttering around the garden.What lovely and thoughtful flowers and totes.Is Artemesia the same as wormwood? I used to have some of that growing next to the rosemary (lost in the Big Freeze of '21) I liked the smell, but was too nervous to make absinthe from it.
Thanks, I can't resist an old knife like that. In someone's pocket for decades probably, but still ready for use.
Today, I ran a few errands and stood outside in the sun just long enough to water the eggplants. That was enough for me. Was hoping to fettle with a new-to-me vintage Voos Cutlery I got off the auction site for a startlingly low bid, but the mail elves have once again misplaced a package. Have to try back on Monday.
Toting these two today. They could use some oil and sharpening. BBC America is playing a Planet Earth marathon of episodes about marine life, with lots of footage of icy cold water. Great for indoor summertime relaxation.

Very smart pup. I'd do that too, if I could fit.
There's a trend around here of making backyard "kiddie pools" or hillbilly hot-tubs out of galvanized stock tanks, big enough for an adult or two. Some folk even fit them with filters and build decking around for a fancy but affordable pool. I'm tempted to set one up.
Thanks for the advance warning! I enjoy your annual Yorkshire Day much more than a threp ‘n te steens.I wish that I could get you over for one JeffShy of that, be sure to check out my Yorkshire Day giveaway in a month's time

Thanks, John. Unlike me, they would rather work than do anything else.Such an adorable pup.
I bet he'd rather keel over than quit his job.
Nice one John. Those 48s look like nice knives. I should have bought one when they were sitting on shelves.
There’s days I want to jump in the trough and I’m not wearing a black fur coatYeah. Our friends visited with their black lab puppy last week when it was over 90 degrees, and he quickly discovered our water fountain beside the back porch.

Then our lab showed him the creek running beside our property. Now, that's the first place he goes, when they let him out of the car.
Fantastic shots!
