Friday in the Heat


 The cone flowers are suffering in all of the heat. I brought this in to add to the store bought bouquet and they don't look so great.  I guess they fill up space in the vase to balance  it all out. 


 The mums come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. The white one is the star in the whole bouquet. 

 

I keep carrying water for the pot as the heat had the flowers looking wilted this afternoon. We have 89 degrees F. and the weather app says it feels like 88 degrees F. when the wind blows. I missed a day of watering the circle garden today. I may sneak out after supper and take the hose to them to give the plants some relief.


. I shifted around some of  my orchids that I keep downstairs when they are not blooming. I give them a small amount of water and while doing so I was surprised to find this.  There will be four blooms in total and that is so great. I don't even know how long I have had this plant. When they blooms are gone I will clip the stem off. They normally put out a new stem of buds but this one put out the four buds on the end of an old stem that I forgot to cut back.  

We are doing extra cleaning today in the house as our youngest son and his wife will be here for a couple of days. I store the deco pair of reindeer from Christmas in the spare bedroom down there so I had to find room in the store room for them. We will be super clean and sometimes company helps one get the throrugh cleaning done that we will like after they are gone. 

Thanks for stopping by today.
