I felt very weird yesterday

June 02, 2025

 Yesterday evening, I set up the window boxes, put some of my indoor plants in them, and then planted some seeds there as well: morning glory, marigold, and poppy. I love poppies. I really hope I can get some to grow this year. I spent time gardening in the front yard. I ripped out a bunch of weeds and planted some seeds in the front. I still have a lot to do! Lots of seeds, lots of weeds, lots of opportunity! It looks like it will be a lovely sunny day again today. Hopefully, not too bitey.

While I was in Illinois, some birds killed two of my sunflowers. I had un-staked them. I think the birds sat on top of them and snapped them. That happens a lot later in the year with my purple coneflowers. Those birds!

I went to a plant festival at Broad Ripple Park. I felt a little weird there. There were food trucks, stalls, and everything. It was nice. I did not see one person I knew there. No Broad Ripple Park people! I looked at the stuff at the stalls, and it was WAY TOO EXPENSIVE! I feel like the only affordable places to shop nowadays are the toggery and yard sales. Even thrift stores are now too expensive. Facebook Marketplace also seems good. I have just never used it. Everyone else has—even Eric. I need to get with the program or something.

I had a good talk with the Friends of Broad Ripple park and got to know their upcoming plans.  The budget for improvements has reduced so there is no longer going to be a road through the park.   That would make it an unsafe place.  I love that park.   I got a bandana and it has a squirrel on it!  The insult to Peanut and dogs everywhere!  I can hardly believe the insult!
