Juneteenth

Today is K and Z's tenth wedding anniversary.  They went off for the day and drove to the mountains site seeing.  C, E and I stayed home to be the adult for Gideon.  We mostly took the day off.  I got very little done in the garden, a little planting of flowers outside the garden, and I re-potted the petunia.  I also tried to plant new petunia with what I hoped were seeds in the pods I have been trimming off.  Unfortunately I don't think the flowers pollinated, so I don't think there were seeds with what I planted.  So I made a half-hearted attempt to pollinate the current blossoms.  Most likely another plant is required and it won't work, only time will tell.

In the evening we lit a fire and had a Google Meet for anyone to join.  Ideally there would have been bardic.  Instead, we chatted with the few folks who tuned in.  The important part is that it worked and we can try again tomorrow, after the event, and maybe this time have those songs and stories.  The fire, seeing some friends online and the lightning bugs that entertained us are my happy things for today.  I am very grateful for the help that C and E provided in getting the fire going and dinner tonight.

For their tenth anniversary I gave them what my mom gave me and my now ex-husband.
No other details because we are hoping to pass it on to C and E someday.

Behind the fake brick chimney in the living room is another fake brick chimney...
and a real fireplace. 
Behind the second fake chimney appears to be crumbling brick, so that was left on.

Petunias!
