It's Always Something

The never-ending saga of keeping up with the needs of a circa 1970's ranch in a Chesapeake Bay beach community in lovely Maryland.

ScribeFire for Blogging, and Flowers?

I'm trying out ScribeFire, an extension for Firefox that lets me post to my blog from within my browser. Not sure if this is quicker, but it's cool looking.

In house news, we spent this afternoon bundling up the branches and yard waste for recycling. I also cut down some 3" diameter saplings in the back yard, and the accompanying two foot tall grass around them. I know I'm ruining some dandy wildlife habitat, but it's OUR back yard - and there is plenty of room in the woods to the back.

There are some flowers here after all. There are azaleas that are old and thriving, and they bloomed like crazy this spring, and two coreopsis flowers left over from a wildflower attempt in the past. Lately there have been a couple of blooms from some thin daylilies in the front yard. They're reddish ones, very pretty. There is also a small thicket of Queen Anne's Lace that is dainty and gorgeous. I'm glad it's in an area that is easy to avoid mowing.

The raspberries along the woods in the back yard are ripe! We've been eating them as they ripen. There are some left for the deer and turtles too.

I see that I have no clue how to add photos in ScribeFire. Rats. If I upload them to flickr, I think I can get it to work... (It's still not working. Will try tomorrow.)
