The sun hides behind the clouds and the two trees. Our earth starts to tilt back now. We have a humid hot day ahead of us and the clouds have cleared. We have hot sun and it will stay that way for most of the day. We won't be cooling down much at night.
I worked with my second half of my zinnia plantings this morning. They were planted a couple of weeks later so they are just now big enough for me to move around and get in order. I don't need straight rows but I do want a strong looking flower bed. I dug up bunches ans spread them into areas with no plants at all. It got to be too hot for me but I did finish. I got out the garden hose and sprayed them in with a fine mist to get the roots to settle in better.
This is my first patch and I am happy with the layout of the plants on this one. I have to hand pulll the water grass from the bed as I transplant things.
As I just scatter plants around the place these host are looking good next to my platform at the gate. It is the second year of growth on the now.
The row here of hosta also are filling in nicely. It looked like a good place to put them as the gap between the yard and the steps wasn't growing things very well. The grass can't be mowed there easily so the hosta make a good liner.
I promised to share the visuals of this old church in downtown Des Moines. It is said that it was designed off of the Pantheon with its center open sanctuary and front columned entrance. The pipes for the organ are covered with cloth panels instead of being traditionally exposed. The balconies had individaul ceiling skylights of stained glass windows. The building is on the National Registry and any remodeling must be done to code of the original design. It was completed in 1908.
Thanks for stopping by today.
