Milkweed

Here are some happy things from today, Wednesday:

• When I hiked parts of the Appalachian Trail I had expected to spend some nights looking at stars.  I don't think that really happened.  Not in a stargazing sort of way.  Generally, we went to sleep as it got dark.  Or at least into the tent to try and sleep.  When I left for work there were stars to see.  Cassiopeia and the Big Dipper were the constellations easy to identify before I got into my car to drive to work. 
• After work I went to the bank to ask about the savings account I thought I closed in April.  It was supposed to have a minimum balance and money deposited every month to avoid fees.  Since that wasn't going to happen while on Leave of Absence, I closed it.  Someone messed up though and it wasn't closed.  So I asked them to leave it open so I can start saving again.  Yay, savings account!
• Last year or the year before I tried to plant some milkweed in the back property, where it is generally wild anyways.  Today I noticed some growing there!  I'm not sure if it is from what I planted or just happenstance, but I'm glad they are there.  

Milkweed.
