coneflower hue

I thought I'd planted a red coneflower, but it's actually pink.

long bike rack

The new bike rack on my Subaru makes it even more of a squeeze to fit the car in the garage than before.

inconvenient laundry room

To access my laundry room, I have to walk down a flight of stairs and then do a circuit of the entire basement.
