I started the day by sitting down at the side of the house with a hot-pressed paper block and some pencils to do a drawing.

After drawing-time, I spent a couple hours removing garlic mustard from the forested area at the back of our yard. It’s invasive, and unless we make an effort to rid ourselves of it, the stuff is likely to complete the invasion by abducting us and taking us to its home planet. I removed a lot of garlic mustard today. I know the war is just beginning though, because this nasty weed spreads like the Dickens. Battle stations drawn.

Tuffy P had the day off work today, and we decided to go for a bike ride this afternoon. It was perfect by the lake, not too hot, not too cool.
