Belated Week in Review - July 10 - 16

Yep, it was that kind of week.  I should have known things were off when I kept dropping everything I touched on Thursday.

My neighbors hollyhocks are blooming.  Mine, which I transplanted from seedlings, might bloom a bit this year.  A few have buds on them, so will wait and see.  Will have to take pictures of the sunflowers which are doing great.

And continuing the plant theme...

From the "Craftea" at the library this past week, Fairy Gardens!  Lady K helped put this one together and it is now on the side of my desk.  I stuck the rose cutting in the dirt since it wasn't rooting in the water, but I don't think it will make it.

And I received this package during the week...

Not one, but TWO Hobonichi Techno Planners for my planner class demo.  I wasn't expecting to receive two, so one has been gifted to a young co-worker who is into all things Japanese.  So much so, he is planning on becoming a Japanese translator.  While this is the smaller version, it only makes me want the larger "Cousin" version.  With a case.  One day when I have money!

On our walk to the Symphony Under the Stars on Saturday, I discovered this lovely gate and the rain chimes.  Of course, we don't really get enough rain to really appreciate the bells, but I still out like some.

Isn't the gate inviting?  Makes me want to explore what is beyond it.  I would hope a really neat garden is back there.

And some lilies...
