Good morning Rounders! I had a very sore throat yesterday evening and I have no idea what brought it on, but I had to gargle with warm salt water and take a Lozenge and I only had a bowl of thin soup for dinner. I feel better this morning and no more sore throat.
I gathered a bunch of seeds from the Cleomes before I pulled them up. One thing about the Cleomes is that they are study fibrous plants and they help the soil to aerate. It's like you tilled the garden where they were planted after you pull them up. I laid them over on the bank so the remaining seeds could ripen and pop and come up. June and July are the rainy months and a lot of the seeds I've put down are going to sprout then.
I love my Swiffer wet cloths, (it came with 3 free). They are pretty wet so I do the vinyl plank in the kitchen first, then I do the laminate floor in the rest of the house. They told me not to get water on these laminate floors when they installed it so I have to be careful. It's Maple, but I'm not fond of Maple. I wanted Oak, but Maple is what they have a never ending supply of and it's darker and shows every little thing. The vinyl plank in the kitchen looks like barnwood and I love it. You can get it wet all you want and it won't matter.
I did not know it until this year, but the trees of the Crepe Myrtle and Sycamore do not shed bark every year. Last year they both shed enough bark for me to use for mulch. No shedding at all this year. You live and learn.
I forget what I post on here from one day to the next, so please forgive me if I repeat myself. It is terrible to feel old. Ok, I just need to clarify that I'm not as bad off as I thought though. Those garden clogs were offered last week at Aldi's and there were none on the shelves. I don't know what happened or why the lady misinformed me, but I ended up not going to Aldi's becuz they were not on this weeks ad page. Maybe it wasn't meant to be. I can certainly live without a pair of garden clogs. The weekend team is kind of sparse and I'll just wait until the next good thing shows up and grab it then.
DH is improving so much and becoming quite independent in getting around and doing things. He still needs me to help put the plastic sleeve over the boot before he showers and to do the dsg change. He is now sleeping without the boot. Good for him.
Aunt Maye, I didn't see a post from you yesterday, and hope you are ok. JoGee, you are in my thoughts daily and it sounds as if you are doing well with all your helpers. Beth, enjoy your time off work. Be spontaneous and have fun. Maxie, I can picture in my mind how pretty it will look around your house when you're finished with all the planting, but just remember, A Garden is Never Done. Paula, I still don't know how you do it, and Jostoy and Cookielady ya'll are like energizer bunnies. If I could clone you we could have a multimillion dollar biz. LOL! Hope I didn't forget anyone.
Peace & Plenty.
