30-Foot Yard

Mowed yesterday, set the mower at 3″.

Someone called China a 30-yard country.  Everything looks good from 30 yards away.  We have a 30-foot yard – looks great until you see the amount of crabgrass and number of weeds.

I’m very depressed about the gardens this year.  Mildew seems to have attacked almost everything.  I didn’t plant the right vegetables – people have been crowing about their squash.  The best tomatoes seem to be on a plant growing out of a compost pile in one of our wooded areas!

It’s been many days since we’ve seen even one hummingbird.

I’ve made several half-hearted attempts at fall cleanup.  No desire to plant anything.

Ron on the other hand has almost finished the deck at Edgewater!  He also put up a shelf in the kitchen and a wood tissue holder and circular shower curtain rod in the bathroom.  Plus, he repaired the message box at Santuit Pond Estates.
