The new young mourning doves have a hard time adjusting to the real world. This one showed up at the feeder and just sits. It did turn around and eat some seed but he has just stayed there for over a half an hour. It left for awhile and is now back sitting on the railing next to the old wooden feeder, again he is just sitting there.
My antique sauce pan is not great for plants. I don't want to drill a hole in the bottom of it so I have to lay it on its side after a rain. I have now moved it out from under the deck and it won't get rained on again. I know I will never use it as a sauce pan but I just don't want to destroy an antique.
I bought some more petunias to fill in a garden space next to the garage door. It is a different variety but I bought a couple of them to make things look better. It is getting to be where nurseries are shutting down their bedding plants.
I found a variety of hosta that I didn't have. I have looked around and I have them mostly. This one is a new one for me though and they named it June. It was the last one sitting among a lot of the ones that I already have in my garden. I cut the plant into three parts and planted it in the front of the house. I actually kept one small part for a friend who had come and sample my hosta a month ago. Obsessive collecting comes in plants too but I do know I can't get them all. I have a catalog from a hosta company and there are a couple of strange ones in there that I really don't ever want.
It is very hot and humid today. I am staying inside except for going to the mailbox. It is better to be inside. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hope you stay cool! What pretty petunias!
I am staying indoors with the heater going and a warm blanket over my cold body.
