Monday was my first day back from vacation. My nose was peeling, my feet were sore, there was a mountain of laundry. For Harry Potter fans, it appears the busybody Hermione persuaded the house elves to go on strike. The mess I happily left behind was waiting for me when I returned.

This beautiful rose is called "Gentle Hermione"! The creepy hand belongs to my husband, acting as photographer's assistant. Taken at Huntington Library Botanical Gardens. |
Fatigue and post holiday let down had me imagining the house rearing up and smothering me.
That was yesterday. Today I was up with the lark, connected with friends, vanquished the laundry pile, ran errands, family from England arrive on Friday.

We had a great time |
Haha, I can relate. My house elves also did zero while we were gone. Glad you had a nice time!

ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful time with your company. I always clean after company leaves instead of before! ;) That Gentle Hermione is amazing! Oh, my - now I have another rose to add to my list!
ReplyDeleteHave you been to the Huntington Gardens? They have a "to die for" rose arbour. I'm looking forward to my company, one of my favourite cousins. We last saw each other six years ago, and then briefly, so we have a lot of catching up to do.
