Garden Pic Wednesday: Evening Color

Garden Pic for today is a evening shot of these brightly colored 4 O'clocks in one of my front beds. It was around 6 pm, still light after a rainy day. They stay open all night, feeding moths and so on.



 
Other news:
I got all Dave's clothing boxed up, plus a box of odds and ends to give away, such as mugs and other household type things. Plus, a few pieces of furniture are ear-marked to go.
It was harder then I expected, though, to find a charity to swing by for a pick-up. Goodwill isn't doing home pick-ups. Salvation Army had one guy and a small truck and couldn't pick-up the desk I wanted taken away as well. I wasn't sure who else to call, then found a website that pairs people to charities that do pick-up in your zip code. (free)
They connected me to the Waterfront Rescue Mission and they set up a pick-up date later this month to do the pick-up. However, the form had me fill out exactly what I wanted picked-up and that's all they will pick-up as that's how they plan their truck space.
For the remaining small items I want to get rid of (like games, books, puzzles and so on), there is a Goodwill drop-off store 1 mile away, where you pull up and a guy comes out to take your stuff.
So, I put stuff in the back of my Soul and drop off. So far, just one drop off.  I meant to do a drop off today, but when I pulled up, 2 police cars were parked in front of the Goodwill and the cops were inside the adjacent gas station quick-store. 
Something was going on.
In this town, crime is so slow, if you see TWO cop cars, it must be a serious matter.
So I just swung around and went home.
Probably tomorrow, before I go grocery shopping I can drop what's in the car now off.
