We started our day out with lots of fog and moisture built upon our windows. The sun did partially come out but the humidity level is so very high. I mowed my front yard this morning and I needed a very long rest afterwards. It was just not pleasant and breathing was difficult. After my rest I went back mowed a portion of the back yard. By the time I had done that it was up to 80 degrees F. with 79% humidity, No more outside work for me today.
Right before I returned to mow I took time to cut off a few rose hips from the William Baffin rose. I also saw I had the beginning of a ripe tomato. I should have left it on the vine but I couldn't wait to pick it. I am ready for my tomatoes to start produceing but I think I have a long wait ahead of me.
My planter on the deck is struggling. It was a carry over of hardy geraniums and they needed to regroup. You can see that they are putting out some good new leaves but there will be some time before I get blooms. I had a stray petunia that I put in there and it is doing good. This is the planter that I had to put some drain holes in it as it was a swimming pool full of water for a while and the flowers did not like that.
These are filler flowers that were in a new bouquet that I bought. The remind me of pinks.
The one rose in the bouquet is one I have shared before now. It has a different color for a rose. It isn't red but a mixture blend of red. It seems to be lasting a long time.
It is blue cup Friday. We have only one blue one and each cycle of using the dishwasher we get to start off a new time with the blue cup. That happens about every three days when the dishwasher gets full and I have to run it.
Thanks for checking in today.
