This random petunia turned up in a woodsy, weedy, mostly-neglected area nearby. I suppose it must have grown from a seed thrown by some previous, more intentional garden plant. So far it's made two different colors of flower.

I went to Local Art Event, but ended up not staying very long, partly because it was so loud you couldn't have any kind of conversation about the things you were looking at, but also because I turned out to be incredibly allergic to something in the building. Alas. I really am no fun at all.

There was a deer strolling by outside the window, and I managed to grab my phone just in time to get the derpiest possible picture.

so we've been referring to it as the Detour de France.
