I am looking forward to this in the next few months
Even with coffee the brain doesn’t seem to want to function tonight. It has been a rather strange day any and all writing I attempted fell to the wayside. I hope you all will forgive me and enjoy some garden pictures instead.
We had some meltage today.
It wasn’t much but it is better than none. I managed to get outside and clean up as many land mines as I could find. (Better known as dog poop.) With temperatures coming our way above freezing for the next several day we should be down to our usual Spring mud hole of a yard.
Maybe this is the year I get a patio in so The Curmudgeon and dogs don’t track in so much mud on wet days.
This would be nice.
The real question is, do I have the patience to do it? LOL, I doubt it.
You all have a good one!
A crazy dream
My yard is so out of control I am ready to call in the professionals. If we’d have a couple of days of cooler, dry weather, The Curmudgeon and I might be able to run the mower and trimmer.
We’ve had rain, rain, and more rain with just enough sunshine to make it humid and hot. Of course that means the grass and weeds are growing like mad.
My gardens are in dire need of weeding. I never did get them mulched, so I am paying for that error now. I think after the leaves fall and once the yard is cleaned up, I will start stock piling mulch for spring.
What I really need is several strong and eager volunteers to clean everything up, fill in the pond, and level the yard.
Yeah, I can hear you laughing. I am as well. As if that will ever happen. *Giggle* Not in my lifetime I’m sure.
My big gargoyle is buried under weeds as are my bronze herons.
Redeep, redeep, croooooaaaak!
The heat we had not only kept us inside in the AC but it silenced my frogs. Yesterday we had cooler weather and singing frogs.
The Curmudgeon remarked that we have at least one very loud frog out in the pond. He hadn’t heard them yet so the volume of the frog’s song startled him. (Wish I’d seen that.)
While I was out making an inroad into the overgrowth of weeds around the pond, one frog decided to serenade me. Later another one sang me his song. Both voices are distinctly different.
OMFG! This is way too hot!
93 degrees with 83% humidity is not proper summer weather for Pennsylvania! Argh!
After midnight and we have 80 degrees with 83% humidity. You have to be kidding me! No! No! No! What the heck happened to our mid eighties with low humidity and dropping down to mid to high sixties at night?
Jeez, this has to stop. I can’t get any yard work done and it is beginning to look like a freaking jungle out there. HEEELLLLP! The plants are taking over!!!
You can’t breathe outside, the air is thick enough to cut a slice and chew it. The dogs don’t want to take more than three steps into the yard to pee and then dash back in to flop in front of the AC.
You all have a good one.
More pictures.
Writing is a struggle now. I hope you all don’t mind the pictures I took out in the yard today instead.
First time this Day lily has bloomed since I planted it two years ago.

Hurry and grow!!!
eggplant #2
No energy = picture post.
I am so tired that instead of writing a post I am going to do another picture post. Then I am going to bed.
On the herbs of a dilemma…
Drove over to Ollie’s and found four nice pots, three of which I planted, two with basil and one with rosemary. Now I need to find another herb to plant in the last pot.
The Curmudgeon suggested dill but I have that growing in a pot with one of the tomato plants. I have chives in another one. I have lavender and mint growing in the gardens. I am debating putting parsley or cilantro in the pot. It is a tall and narrow pot.
Any suggestions out there?
Really? Rain again?
We had rain all day again…I accomplished nothing.
Pictures are from Friday.
If you look close you can see my new solar lights in some of the pictures, they work well. I love how they change colors.
