Week 160! How are all of you doing? It’s been rainy and downright muggy (do you use that term) here lately. My potted plants are thriving, and some of the weed-killer sprayed ones are recovering. So, I think this summer may be a good one for my plants. I had a jumbo upright elephant ear …
Week 159! Update on my plants, bushes, and trees…my roses are producing buds, but they are just dead inside. My perennials (bees balm, yarrow, creeping phlox, and echinacea) have pretty much died out. The birch tree continues to lose leaves. I sent a text to the owner’s wife who runs the office. Still no response. …
Week 158! I hope all is going well in your part of the world. I finished planting all my flowers and plants today. I didn’t plant near as many as I usually do. My heart just isn’t in it these days. I do need to get some more perennials for the hump to make that …
Week 157! I am so sorry for getting this out waaaay late! Nigel and I came home in the afternoon on Wednesday. If you’ve spent any time in a hospital, you know sleep is not a priority! I shouldn’t say that because the nurses are all doing everything they can to make your stay as …
Week 155! I’m sorry for getting this out so late. Life has been full, and I am just kinda treading water right now. Due to the lateness, I am not going to have any featured favorites this week, but I will do two weeks’ worth next week, OK? Anyway, it’s time for the Weekend Traffic …
Week 154! Happy Thursday, my friends! I hope your day has been a good one. It’s been sunny and chilly after a couple days of thunderstorms. I love thunderstorms as long as there isn’t a lot of wind. My yard looks like it belongs in Ireland! I know it won’t look that way in a …
Week 153! I’m sorry I’m getting this out late. I was able to attend my youngest granddaughter’s orchestra concert! I’m always amazed at what these kids can do with those beautiful instruments. In case you didn’t know, an orchestra (at least at her high school) is made up of stringed instruments. More than that, I’m …
Week 152! It’s been quite nice here in Central Indiana the last few days. Most of my perennials are showing signs of life. The hump is still rather empty. I’m hoping some of the cosmos seeds that dropped will germinate and grow. I do have one little sprout coming up from a rogue seed from …
Week 151! Wow! I spent all day today thinking it was Wednesday even though I know tomorrow is Friday! How’s that for being confuzzled? I had a wonderful time at the art museum today. I’m in a group that focuses on European art, and we had two docents present on different pieces of art. I’m …
Week 150! How is it in your part of the world? My creeping phlox are beginning to bloom. Somehow or other, I planted three different colors in the same place. Luckily, I like purple so it’s OK. The grass is getting so green. My bonus son mowed it for us this past weekend. Of course, …
