We’ll be dry until Friday when there’s a chance of showers. Unfortunately, we’ll be getting some of that Canadian wildfire smoke.
One good thing about all the rain .... the ground is soft enough to pound in T-posts where the neighbor’s old fence line is rotting out & starting to fall our way. I pounded 2 posts in yesterday, 2 more should go in today. My post pounder is 18.5 pounds - I was shocked my arms didn’t get tired - must be all the shoveling I’ve been doing. Mom held the ladder for me on one post & exclaimed “Wow, are you going to have some muscles!” LOL Reusing those pesky T-posts I jacked out of the ground a while back.
I have to treat the roof this morning with Wet & Forget - slate has lichens & all sorts of stuff growing on it. The roof appearance is one if mom’s pet peeves. I have to cover all the plants & bushes, which will be a pain.
Pick up tree debris, mow, trim, paint my washtubs, got potting soil for tubs this am so I can plant Calibrachoa, set groundhog trap, shovel mulch, cut down 2 rotten redbuds, 1 rotten peach, one rotten chestnut tree & majorly trim up the old apple tree .... all before 8 pm LOL, just joking about 8 pm, but it’s all on my schedule for the week. Keeps me out of “trouble”! :-)
You’re one busy lady these days!
Our rain today turned out to be NOTHING - not even measurable, though it did rain. Radar shows the bulk of it between 6-10pm tonight. Greenhouse is opened up again until then.
I am down to 5 mixed flats of stuff that still needs to go in the ground, but the Zinnia and Dahlia are all in.
I like seeing those flats DWINDLE this time of year. :)
We were watching ‘Longmire’ this afternoon and Beau said, ‘Did you hear that?!’
Nope. I didn’t.
He said he can HEAR the corn growing that he planted just yesterday - we should have sweet corn for supper tonight, LOL!
