5. I bought two heliotropes, a fantastic pelargonium, and three marguerite daisies (pink) today.

6. We moved the outside pots outside, where they belong. In the rain.

7. I'm still writing notes to students about things they may have forgotten.

8. I'm receiving application materials from students for the Folio editorships.
