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.

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...

Good chances of rain and Heavy rain for the next 5 days. Planting/tending/ANY gardening is now a dirty word with DD's and they downright refuse to do much, if any. DH is different and he will be putting out seeds for me in my south of the garage bed today and tomorrow, and we will see what...

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...

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.

Pray for those suffering in the Texas Hill Country Dear Friend, Our hearts break for those who have been devastated by the catastrophic flooding in central Texas. Over 100 lives were lost as the Guadalupe River turned into a torrent in the early hours of July 4. We immediately dispatched...

Thought I'd Share something I found on FB:

Sweet wishes back at you, Steve!! :love I am looking forward to aNOTHER 12 hr night of sleeping bliss! ...and, a new knee.

Finally going out--2 gardening days left until my surgery. I will probably report back late tomorrow, then, I will be on heavy medication for several days, so I will probably Not be online then. I had to cover the law office yesterday morning, so I made sure to hit WM on the way home to stock...

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...
