Today I learned that our black plastic paper plate holders are, in fact, microwave-safe. Thankfully.
Inchworm
This little guy hitched a ride indoors on some peonies last week.
BTW, the soundtrack for this video is Inchworm, performed by Danny Kaye with Gordon Jenkins and his Chorus and Orchestra, published by Decca Records in 1952, digitized from record (78 rpm) and uploaded to Archive.org by someone with a fancier hi-fi setup than mine.
Even so, I received a Copyright Claim email within minutes of uploading this one-minute video to YouTube. For including one minute and six seconds of a song recorded before my mother was born on an unmonetized video. I understand that copyright infringement is a Big Deal, but it’s seriously just a cute one-minute vignette.
White Peonies
I moved and divided these peonies a few years back, and I remember worrying that I’d broken them into too small of sections.
Seems I had nothing to worry about — they’re thriving in their new home, and the ones that are in full sun are full of blooms every June.
Birdbath
I looked out the kitchen window this afternoon to see a robin in mid-splish-splash.
