[Holding Our Breath]

Good morning Jem and everyone @:) Very hot here yesterday and it's going to be today. Mr HOB spent 90 minutes watering our newly planted flowers yesterday evening and the same time this morning before going to work. We were given 4 rose buhes someone in the neighborhood were getting rid of due to space, I think; one's a yellow climber, the other two are pink bushes, and one's a thorny bush of undtermined color. Wish me luck with them? I still have one more climber we bought to plant and the two hydrangeas. The one white rodie is not doing well...too much sun, I think.m

Belated Happy Birthday, till!

This morning I saw my first bumper sticker for our side (McCain) on a truck with a Marines sticker on it. It was refreshing to NOT see the phony's name on it.

Thank you HOB. It’s been hottern a pistol here, and humid. The 2 roses I had transplanted, I think are suffering, shock. Their leaves are brown but the stocks are still green. I put a hose down into the ground and give them a shot of water. I hope they survive. One is the fairy sprout Roomey didn’t see when he had the mother plant dug up and given away. The second one is the mini antique climber. I think I’m going to pack some llama pellets around them then cover with leave mold and mulch.
