Garden this and that, in no particular order:
- A buck has been skulking down by the pond, aggravating the dogs every time we go outside.
- Relatedly, someone with hooves investigated the herb garden last night. They devoured one of the volunteer lettuces.
- They left the herbs and marigolds alone. Since I don’t like lettuce, this is fine.
- They also nibbled on the phlox and decided, like last year, it doesn’t taste all that great.
- They left the newly planted blackberry bush alone.
Writing this and that:
15,000 words in Rose’s POV for The Rose Rebellion. I’m glad I listened to my intuition and didn’t dive into editing The Marigold Miracle. Several things came up this week that I need for that. So, for now, the printout of The Marigold Miracle will continue to sit on my desk, waiting patiently.
Some garden pics:
Current state of the cottage garden. Try to ignore the recycling bins and the Boler that needs a power wash.
The peonies, back for an encore.

Your cottage garden looks thriving and well. All that brilliant green against the mulched (and edged!) beds is gorgeous — it looks well-tended and loved. And your peonies are holding up nicely! (Also, 15000 words for the week sounds like excellent work!)
