Circumstances beyond my control -- an unexpected work phone call at lunch time, followed by an afternoon meeting at a restaurant, which turned out to be closed due to a broken water main -- I ended up having to skip lunch and then sit outside in the sun for hours, with nothing to eat or drink. On the first hot day of the year too. Finally got to eat lunch around 4, at the post-meeting meeting. This is a recipe for a headache, and by the time I got home at around 5 I was definitely feeling the "funny feeling" that usually precedes a bad one. For once I had the sense to take medicine immediately, drink lots of fluids and lay down. And I managed to avoid the headache, whew!
It bummed me out extremely not to get any yardwork done on a beautiful day like today. At least I got outside and took a few pictures after I was sure the headache wasn't going to happen. This is such an exciting time of year in the garden. Every day something new is emerging. This year we're starting to see volunteer plants we actually want: patches of black-eyed susan here and there, sunflowers that reseeded from last year, and even a whole patch of yarrow where I'm sure I didn't plant any. What fun!
