Saw wild petunia and St. John’s Wort when I walked. When I got back to the porch a nice shower watered the meadow. Erin came today. She probably thought she needed to check on an old lady alone!
The name St. John’s wort is believed to be derived from John the Baptist, as the plant blooms in June, around the time of the St. John the Baptist feast. It is most commonly used to address mood disorders, depression, and symptoms such as nervousness, fatigue, and difficulty sleeping.
St. John’s Wort
My kids are almost home. I know Siggie hated to leave Ellie. Ellie is a page for our Senator Tom Cotton. She’ll be in DC until the end of June. She lives in a little house in walking distance of the Capital. She walks to his office each day. Mostly she says she answers the telephone. Callers are sometimes mean and curse at her. Sometimes she types for Senator Cotton. She and Sig have been friends since kindergarten.

How interesting it must be to work with a Senator, hope he is a nice guy.
You got rain again so you can mow:) Your yard looks nice!
How wonderful to work for a senator and learn about the inner working of Congress. It's really unfortunately to have to deal with such rude callers.
