We’ve had an inch of rain since it started early this morning. A good thing for the garden. I just planted a Monarda (Bee Balm) and a Phlox – beautiful plants that cost only $6.99 at Stop & Shop – on the left side of the “U”. I trimmed the bushes in front of the house so that a) the carpenter who is replacing the windows and putting up siding can move more easily and b) we could take the debris to the transfer station today.
We did the transfer station run in the rain – it was pretty much impossible to avoid it – and picked up 60 plastic hangars for Ron’s laundry. We went through several boxes and trunks yesterday and have been laundering shirts for a good part of today. So far, we’ve gone through almost 40 hangars.
We found Ron’s baby book and some old photos, plus a book of postcards that belonged to his mother. Charming and interesting stuff, and a useful record of childhood illnesses.
After finishing a few household chores, we went to the Onset Blues Festival yesterday and really enjoyed it.
We also picked a handful of green beans! The tomato plants in the Earth Boxes are about six feet high and the corn is growing. We also have the start of another pumpkin, some cukes and even a watermelon.
