Tark had a bath today and was, as the finishing touch, sprayed with vanilla gingerbread doggy freshener. He smells delicious, but he doesn't smell like a dog.

Tuscan Sun is blooming, Cherry Parfait bloomed first, and Hot Cocoa, Crimson Bouquet and Peace all have buds. Tuscan Sub has aphids, which I soaked with Garden Safe insecticidal soap this afternoon.

Three iris have bloomed, and two more have buds. I don't know the names of any of my iris except Caliente, which is a summer bloomer.

I'm proud of myself for finally drafting my appeal letter to the Evil Insurance Company. Those Fokkers were flying Messerschmidts, as Bob Camp would say.
