Good morning Rounders! Today is Hump Day, trash pick-up day, change the dressing on DH's heel day, and Aldi's shopping day. I hope I really like the garden clogs, but if not I can always take them back.
Yep, I think I overdid it a bit mowing the grass, but if I had let it get any taller it would have been more difficult to mow. Our yard still has bald spots in it and I've tried to transplant grass plugs, but they just don't always survive. Sand is the culprit. No nutrition.
Did I tell you that the birds are loving the birdbath? It will be a great feature for them this summer when it's sweltering outside. I will try and keep it clean and filled for them.
I am going to get to the thrift shop one of these days and I'll look for something in the craft section. I like working with felt, making bookmarks, or pin cushions or coasters. They are so simple and so pretty. That would be good gifts to give for visitors at holiday time, not that we have that many, but last year one of our neighbors came bearing gifts and I would just like to reciprocate.
My plants have really shot up in the last couple of weeks. It's amazing how the nighttime temperature change makes a difference. It's like magic! You look at the plant one day and it's a couple of inches high and then you miss a day and it's doubled or tripled in size.
Today I will gather all the seed from the Cleome and pull those stalks out of the garden. They are big and fibrous and will have to go in the yard waste, but they have been blooming for months and have given me such pleasure and I now have thousands of seeds to sow, plus I have all kinds of baby seedlings coming up and there will be plants for the rest of the year. Bonus!
I will probably finish my book today. It has 1,012 pages. Edge of Eternity by Ken Follet. Peace & Plenty.
