Wednesday....Heat and Humidity.

I took a day off and had no blooms showing. I thought they always has at leas one bloom out each day.  I guess not.

I could keep taking photos of this in dozen of positions but I think every one would be bored. The red of this flower is so intense and pure. I may move some of this to another part of the property.

It was time for us to make another cobbler.  I picked up strawberries to put in with the rhubarb. When I cook up the rhubarb and tossed in the fresh strawberries with it before adding it to the pan. My wife did the topping to make it all so good to eat.

The orange cone flower is a little peaked but it is pretty. We seem to be a little dry and the flowers are not so perky.

I mowed the front yard today collecting grass for the tomato plants. I did get some of the tomato plants mulched.  The raised bed is almost to big for me to maintain.  I will put in steel posts to help hold uup the plants and then I can get into the middle of the bed to finish the job. In another year I may just plant flowers in the middle of the ring of tomatoes.

The robins are feeding babies already as I sat out and watched for a while.  They have the nest placed so the can fly in from under the deck and then fly out on the other side.  I would have to get a stepladder to get a   photo but I won't do that.

I am still regulating my amount of time working outside. I have been having balance problems when I work too long so I do know when it is time to quit. The heat doesn't help but I am glad that I can get done the things that need to be done.  I will mow the other half of the yard tomorrow.

I mulched a lot of things but I ran out of mulch.  I had forgotten as to how good that all looks when it is down.  I will get some more soon but we have a holiday hitting some time soon. I can shop there at the hardware with out picking up any germs.

It is Wednesday and the first of July.  I have to work hard to save photos into the July file because I forget. The summer seems to be humming along.  Thanks for stopping by today.


Our friend is doing better being placed in the hospital. Her treatments weakened her and she had infections in a couple areas of her body. We can not visit her but she can call my wife for as long as her battery lasts on her phone. A health nurse had to get her checked in for care.
