Now that I have both lower crowns on, I can eat cashews again. Dentist leary of peanut butter, the temps came off with it, so chew carefully. We didn't have peanut butter at the ISM meeting, boojum.
Today's Weather in Your Garden - 18
Glad to hear you're improving, boojum!
Ouch, WC! That couldn't have been fun. Was the bike ride worth it?
Short answer pirl... no!
☺
Somehow I'm not surprised, WC!

Forgot to bring the pbutter to ISM. Did you post anything about the iris convention, Lucy? Did anyone post pics for me?
Wrong camera for pics here & no skills,one thing at a time-working with the computer.

I do hope we get that rain, Anita. Not only for the sake of the garden but so that I can take a few well earned naps. I like planning in advance!
We only got a few drops yesterday.
We got rain last night , a soft gentle rain that lulled me to sleep. Today is bright and sunny as I head for the airport....see you in a few days!!
Celeste, hope you have a good trip.
Hope you have a relaxing trip, Pixie.
Enjoy! Don't forget the sunscreen!! ☺
It will be another nice day today--just too dry--but since Grant is doing a little better, I can breathe again, & I'm even going out to plant my veggies since the other Gram is babysitting today. Hope you will be feeling much better soon, Booj--Iris--thanks for the prayers--I know they are helping Grant--Lynn, thanks for the comments--I like his name, too--if all goes well, we'll be at UCONN tomorrow to see him. I'm going to go plant, & get the dahlias in as well.

Robin ~
That's great news about the little one! My prayers are still with all of you, as I know how emotionally draining all of this can be for everyone.
Hang in there Robindog
Sunny again, not as warm as the last two days, 65 degrees, windy and dry. Looked like we might get a shower last night on the radar, but none ever made it to the ground. Hoping to get some rain Sunday. Will water more today.
Good morning! It's supposed to be nice here again today with highs expected to be anywhere from 75-80. There are warnings for brush fires potential with the decreased humidity and some wind. The paper says they have the fire in Minnewaska out, but are keeping an eye out for flare ups. The are saying the cause is more than likely from smoking materials as there was no evidence of incendiary matter or campfire.
Yeah ~ we're keeping a watchful eye for blazes today, too.
I hope that no one any where suffers any fire today.
Planned burns can help, but there are so many wooded areas that there's no way we won't see more of this. And many times the fires will start from lightning strikes. Just keep your fingers crossed!
Already have had many brush fires large and small in Ma. Fire danger warnings for the last ten days or more. This brisk wind does not help either. Rain even on the weekend would be very welcome.
So, let's all get outside and do a DG Rain Dance!!
This I've got to see! Does anyone know the steps?
You put your right foot in
You put your right foot out ...
Hee, hee! That'll bring us some rain for sure if only to get us to stop.
For sure!
Temp 68.7°, Wind N 8.4 mph. ☺
Getting chilly now - 60. Gorgeous day! Great JM shot, WC. How often do you change the soil? How often do you water?
Thanks Victor, I water this one every day just enough to keep it moist, only change the soil (50% when I trim the roots) - probably next year, I add green sand every year though to keep the iron up. There's really not much soil in it - about 1 pint. ☺
That's amazing - one pint! Guess you have someone water when you're on vacation. What type of soil mix is it? Commercial or do you mix your own?
WC - beautiful JM!
Thanks pirl
I mix my own... I'm very particular! Hee hee! I don't go on vac during the growing season, only during the dormant period, when it goes to sleep for the winter ~ 5 mos window for vac is ok 4/me, besides I like to go on vac when its cold here and warm somewhere else! It works out just fine! ☺
We don't go away in summer either, WC. Why pay to go elsewhere when people are paying top dollar for those Hampton rental homes?
We used to love vacations in May and Oct. But once the kids reached school age...
DH has summer off, so we usually do go for a couple 5 day trips, and a longer one early spring. The last time we did a 10 day summer vac, I missed so much of the garden, came home to plants finishing blooming.
It's true pirl they pay crazy money to stay at the hamptons, I can go spend the day and come back within 1 day, they're not far away. I also have a nice discount on my beach pass so I can drive the beach and go fishing, why would I go to a place that's 95° and humid when I have the Atlantic coast here at home?
May / spring is a nice time Victor but now you are on school schedule! I'm on plant schedule! ☺
I did the Hamptons 2 summers ago. I loved it! Might, maybe, maybe do it again this summer. I did discover something that I shouldn't have...Tate's cookies.
