It started off with a lot of humidity and the temps were at 71 degrees B. It got warmer every hour on the hour. I worked at mowing the back yard and had to take breaks three different times. It was too much to be out there.
After I quuit working I stepped outside to take this one long knock out bloom. I watered all of the front yard flowers and the three rose bushes. I am hoping to keep everything alive.
I have mums blooming now as I didn't get them trimmed back on the fourth of July. I am just going to let them bloom as my goal is to move them all out of the area and take them to the backyard. I didn't plant them and they seem to crowd out my hostas and also the tulips.
We have the youngest son and his wife stopping in for a couple of days. They are headed to Minnesota from Maine where the live. The are going to come down to see us Sunday and then head up to the north country on Monday. It will be good to see them and we usually have lots of fun going to special eating places and touring our area. Our youngest son never lived with us here in Ankeny so he likes to eplore the different areas and the lake. I hope that the heat will lower a little. We are not getting any of the smokke at t his time but most summers we do get it coming down from Canada.
Thanks for checking in today.
