Looking forward (?) to another hot day. Breeze turned to wind yesterday (GRRRRRRR!). Seventy-four degrees and humid. Gave in and turned on the A/C on Sunday evening but open the house up in the early AM to enjoy the birds singing. Supposed to be cloudy and around 95 degrees today.
Did get some outdoor stuff completed yesterday. Also, got some good tips from my "yard guy" on the watering and care of Bermuda. Last summer took a toll on grass and shrubs. He is going to check it out today when he does the 2nd application seasonal maintenance. Thought I might look into "plugging" some bare spots but he suggested waiting it out this summer and see how it spreads since I am watering on a regular schedule. Ongoing job to keep potted plants watered w/all the hot wind. Have blooms on the eggplants----Yea!
Trip to nursery yesterday was a great success. Picked up more Sweet Autumn Clematis for the arbor, a gorgeous yellow Columbine, and more Gazenia (18 to be exact) plants. Washed out all of the flower pots to fill up. Found a small table w/4 chairs/umbrella for back deck so the "3 Dogmingos" and I can eat out more often. Think I am up and running for Summer.
Speaking of up and running---Off to Mass, volunteer at rectory, then back home to work on that ongoing list of mine.
Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.
Love, Mom
