I counted 18 buds sticking their heads up from the Agapanthus leaves. Don't think there have been than many in the past. Two years ago was the first time any of the buds actually got to the flower stage, as there seemed always to be little boys with sticks pretending to be Musketeers. The flower buds were dragon heads, I guess. I told them if they kept lopping off the heads of my flowers, I lop off their heads.

That was fine that year, but next year I had to remind them again.

I found another bud valiantly poking its head up from the leaves. If I hadn't been snail hunting, I would have missed it.  Darned slimy creatures. The French can have their--whatcha callems--fancy name. I just wish they'd kept them in France.

Every day I go out and go snail hunting, and every day there are even more than the previous day. I think the ones I missed today will breed overnight and have quadruplets for me tomorrow.

Oh well. After a bit of rain this morning, the sun is out now, and it's warming up nicely.

Bless

PS: I weighed Miss Piggy this morning. She weighs 12 pounds!!! She should never be more than 8 pounds. As of yesterday she's on a diet.
