Soaking rain storm yesterday morning, which came after I watered and well-timed at that: parts of the garden got 1 1/2-2 inches of badly-needed water. 8’d the roses, daisies, hibiscus and some of the hydrangeas in the evening.
While it was raining, I put up another shelf and swept the big shed. Used part of the frame from the old slider.
Have some nice blooms on the nasturtiums.
Peter’s old trash barrel shed is working out great, I’m using it to hold soil, peat moss and the recycling bins. The latter may or may not be a good idea, depending on whether spiders that bite decide to live there. Brought a bunch of old pots to Mahoney’s for recycling last week.
The weird purple plants that I removed from Bob Janik’s front yard because they looked so hideous and out of place actually make a nice corner backdrop for the coreopsis. I’m delighted that the little yellow daisies that I also transplanted have come up
Picked up a decorative feature for the garden, a smiling head that looks like Brent Spiner. Someone at work gave it away, along with some other items.
Yesterday, dropped Robert off for sailing and took Emme and James to the Falmouth Rod & Gun Club’s annual Youth Day.
I offered to pay them to take two chores off my plate, edging the lawn around their rock garden and the most horrible of all, painting the deck railing. I’m tired: I don’t want to do these myself and I don’t want the hassle of hiring someone.
Brought James and Tyler to Sea Mist late yesterday afternoon.
