little asters

these are the latest bloomers in my garden (and i never planted them; an errant seedling settled in my 2nd bed, and it's now taking it over). these and the yellow & orange calendula will provide colour until frost.

did laundry most of the day and inaugurated the new outdoor dryer. mmh, laundry fresh from the line smells so good.

called P to restart work on the boat since the paramour did a cactusload of work on taxes et al, and we now know how much money we'll have to spend on it. if everything goes well, we actually might have it in the water in spring 2009. *crosses fingers*. *uncrosses them because woodworking isn't easy with crossed fingers*.
