a nice slow, steady rain...

just what we need...

have good days...

its nasty hot out there...

but we did get a little bit done in the early mornings and late evenings...

this is the new garden area that we put in last summer in front of the deck...

its getting there...

we put this together for the birdies since its so hot and dry here...

and I put Alice with her teacup...

you can see the haze just hanging...

hoping we get some rain this afternoon and tonight...

we are in the 2 inch area!

we could use it

and guess what I found up this morning!

green beaners!

getting the pot ready now...

short night, long day...

makes an old lady tired...

but a good day...

we worked outside until the Indy 500 started...

the guys flat out quit on me while it was on...

and it was getting pretty nasty out...

heat index was 98...

and then I heard thunder...

the little bit of a shower we got the night before helped things grow...

but we got nothing out of all the pop ups...

but...

it did cool things off a bit and brought a small breeze with it...

and the kids showed up and stayed until after supper...

it was a good day...

its after midnight...

and I really need to head to bed...

maybe we can head out again early and do some more damage before the heat gets so bad...

have good days...

Have a safe weekend and remember...

our town...

to all of those who laid down their lives...

thank you

happy Friday!

this little lady needs some shade...

its so hot here for this early in the summer...

and I know its not officially summer yet...

but that's not how it feels...

90s here...

better than snow....

living in the central air...

at least what we have to work on now is in the shade much of the time...

got 2 rows of green beans in there...

with room to till...

watching for something to pop up!

have a good weekend and stay cool!

what's happening here...

peonies are getting ready to open...

these are always the last ones around here to open...

this rose is budding...

but the pink one by the shed had 2 blooms on it this morning...

will shoot that later...

lamb's ear...

the last days for the iris...

columbine are blooming...

right beside the spider wart...

I shall miss these...

Craig is off today, so we got the garden tilled and planted...

cleaned up and came in for lunch...

fed Diddy and put on the roaster and its full...

beef roast, chicken thighs, carrots, potatoes, and broccoli heads...

spices and 2 packs of gravy mix...

brown and peppered...

and does it smell good!

green beans and tomatoes are in and watered...

need pepper plants...

and I have carrot and lettuce seed to plant in the pots with the flowers...

its humid and hot today...

well, it feels hot...

this old girl is taking a nap...

got a couple of hours before the old boy gets home...

have great nights...
