I bought myself flowers again.  I just had too.  Life has been that busy.  I kept welcoming people to chaos on Saturday.  It was a good description.

At the farmer's market, I picked up some fig cuttings.  I am going to try to grow fig trees.  If they work, I am going to take more cuttings and start more trees.  They will go to Washington with us.

The farmer told me just to stick them in the dirt so I did.  Okay, they are pots but....  I am also trying the same with the rose bush I have in the backyard.  The on My Beloved says is taking over his forge.  But it smells so good.

And because it is cheaper then a bouquet, I bought myself a patio rose to enjoy.  I just need to be better about cutting the flowers I am growing.  I did cut a few zinnia yesterday and sprinkle the seeds of the ones I had let go to seed around the garden.  I can hope for more flowers.  I wish I grew flowers as well as I grow kale and romesco cauliflower!
