    Your Weather, 2025

    Lucky you! Some cool relief. We are still in the hot and humid/hot and muggy that only tropical plants really love weather. NO real relief for us until probably mid September.

    Your Weather, 2025

    Still inside, but we finally have had some good rains that I have watched from inside the house and on the porch. Messed up my Godmower, they picked it up Monday, the drive to go forwards and back had slipped off, checked it and put it back and it was back yesterday. DD drove it to the...

    Had 1st/4 in home physical therapy visits today. My left leg is not swollen nearly as much as my right leg was last Fall. We measured a bend of 80 degrees--I am supposed to reach 90 degrees in the next 10 days, which will be doable. Stretching out my pain medications, BUT, ever since the...

    If there is any blame to go around, I would suggest looking at the Real Estate agents who saw opportunity many years ago to build in a place that wasn't built FOR GOOD REASONS. We saw the same thing with houses washed away during Hurricane Sandy, building on properties that should be left...

    Festive for July 4th, as we kick off one year of the Semiquincentennial

    Although there were the regulars who spent a $lot more than we did and put on a show, we lit up our north pasture last Friday night. Here are a few shots of our festivities. And, Yes, you spotted it--we used a tomato cage instead of a bottle to support the rockets. It worked very well.

    What are your favorite perennial flowers?

    Hollyhocks grow in different colors, no guarantee of any particular color. They will come up every year and you will get yellow, but maybe next year.

    I would like suggestions as to what perennial to plant near Eva's grave. Right now I am starting seeds in this blue pot, but I don't leave nice ceramic pots out all year. Ice will crack it. Now that I have room in my carriage house my big ceramic pots will live there upside down during the...
