Another Forced March of Misery

I’ve been doing a lot of gravel-scraping, back-breaking, wall building this last week so after meeting with our contractor this afternoon and prepping for building yet another wall, I was ready to organize another Family Forced March of Misery, this time at Bellevue Botanical Gardens.

Anything that is still blooming like this on November first is going into my garden next year! Er, can anyone tell me what it is?

Wes was in such a foul mood that even Piper couldn’t compete and she became more cheerful. We finally realized that Wes hadn’t eaten since breakfast and a sandwich bought at the coffee stand couldn’t really save the previous hour of our Little Black Rain Cloud. I just (purposely) annoyed him further by chirping, “I’m enjoying this enough for all of us!”

The colors were magnificent. Dwayne was wonderful. Kyla was loving. Piper was not the worst. It was a good enough afternoon.
