All sorts of stuff...

When I'm working... I supposed to be chock full of all sorts of customer service skills...

And, I'm usually pretty good about it... I smile alot, I'm chock full of yes ma'ams and yes sirs, and I even laugh at tired one liners... but today for some reason I wasn't quite able to muster it up. I tried. I kept telling myself to just smile and get on with it... but I'm afraid all I was able to manage today was a semi-polite indifference.

We all have bad days I guess...

Part of the reason is that the summer heat is starting to hit right after 2 really wet weeks and it's humid out there... I felt like I was walking through soup. But I did manage to stop by the side of the road for some wildflower pics... I thought it might cheer me up a little. Didn't really work, but it was a nice break...

Here's some Indian Blanket, or Galliarda. It always amazes me when I see these in seed catalogs.

And the next two are Yucca filamentosa blooming in a field of Coreopsis...

I also stopped in a city park and saw a Duck and ducklings...

And when I got home, the Prickly Pear had it's first bloom open today... of course it was closing up by the time I got here, but you get the idea...

And really that's about it....

later!
