A Ruckus and some cannas

I had another fairly quiet day at the office. Just before noon, Joe realized that we had a minor crisis that required a letter going out to a judge posthaste (if the USPS does post haste anymore), with copies to two other attorneys and to the client, and a cover letter to said client. It meant staying a little overtime, but we got it done and he dropped it in the mail on his way to lunch.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, Tom had decided to go to Richland Center to do some more research on purchasing a Ruckus. I fully expected to see one sitting in the garage when I got home, but nary a thing in sight. He said after he took it for a test drive, it just didn't seem like a good fit. So now he is looking around for another toy. To console (or distract) himself, he went over to Home Depot and got some tomatoes and peppers to plant in the garden. Evelyn had sent some cannas for him home with me, and he is trying to figure out where to put them. The first batch of gladiolas is starting to come up, the irises (as you have seen) have been blooming away, the handful of daffodils are past and the day lilies should be coming along. The wildflower patches are filling up with greenery, some of which must be flowers. Once they begin to bloom, we can tell what is just weeds and start pulling those out.

Okay, I'll be honest. Tom can start pulling those out.

He also bought a new weed whacker today, so maybe that's his toy.
