Wearing my favorite Timberland work shoes and the latest new-to-me addition to my collection of military camo BDUs.
The clouds in the early morning sky were fascinating. It's bright and sunny outside now.
It's only 10am, and it has already been a very fruitful day. The Arcade roses are all pruned and ready to be retied to their posts.

With the roses cut back so severely, it will be easy to get up those pesky winter weeds in the bed, lay down landscape fabric, and finish the bed off with a fresh coat of mulch. I don't usually cut them back this much, but winter damage and two years of neglect made it necessary to be more ruthless than I usually am to whip them into shape.
Okay, break time is over. I'm off to see what else I can tidy up outside. If you are looking for me, you will find me out in the garden!
