Saturday with Stuff

 It started off as a cold gray day but the sun did take over eventually. Sunny and 71 degrees F. is very pleasant and the wind makes it feel like spring. 

 

I worked outside in the morning. The glads were a big disappointment this season. The two branches of flowers from all these bulbs were fantastic but most of them did not bloom. They were in great soil but I wonder if I planted them too deep.

Three of the bulbs had recreated new bulbs and that is a good thing. I will just plant them again next year. On bad year won't stop me as when I have plants I will plant them. I do think I need to plant them sooner in the season as I remember a former neighbor in our old town who planted out hunderd of them early spring. 

 I created another barrel full of trash yesterday and I did get them stowed away into the paper bag today.  I have trimmed back on some of my roses as they have some long strands that just stick out with no buds. I have some branches on my pink rose that has just collapsed with a large amount of blooms on it.I need to get a brace on it so we can see the blooms. 

 moved the rose and was so surprised to see the new growth on it. I must have done things right. I am sure that new potting soil made it happy. I was dumb and was watching the bottom of it to see if there was any new leaves. Moth branches have new leaves on them. It is the pretty apricot rose that gave me so many blooms right by the door. I shifted it from net to the sidewalk and have it next to the steps next to the knock out roses. 

I have a few phlox that are putting out a small amount of blooms. It isn't a lot of color but it is great to see them.

 It is finally looking like the rugs on the two rooms are going to be dry by the end of Sunday or early Monday. I have been spending the days with the sliding glass door open and that has really helped. The mattresses from the trundle bed are now dry and all the bedding was washed and dried the day after the flood. Maybe Monday, a week after the pipe break, I can put things back in place in the two rooms. 

Thanks for checking in today.
