Good morning to one and all, we hope today is as nice as yesterday was. The sun shined and the sky was clear of clouds, yep, a blue sky for a change. Yes, we know as the day progresses, we are to see clouds arriving in preparation for the Thursday storms and severe flooding which is heading our way.
My favorite wife and I did get a couple things done yesterday, we did pot or re-pot 5 flowers. To explain re-pot, we take a flower from a smaller pot and place it in a larger pot. My wife decided to get on the wet ground and pull weeds from the small Jasmin bed, while I decide to trim the front yard with the battery powered string trimmer. I completed the trimming before my favorite wife completed her weeding. I then picked up the weeds that she had piled up in a couple places and got the ole walk behind mower.
I was allowed to mow the front yard and then pick up the remainder of the weed piles. That work finished I went into the house for lunch. I had a can of soup and a sandwich for lunch, and as soon as I finished warming the soup, I remember we had left over homemade chili that I should have eaten. Ole people don't remember things.
After lunch I took a break, aka nap, and then I headed out back to attempt to complete the days required work. I water all the newly potted plants along with the other potted plants. I removed a large flowerpot that was in the #1 berry bed, it is now available to have a flower added. I harvested the black berries; we have now received a little over two quarts of berries and we need to be prepared as there is a bunch out there wanting to be ripe. The birds do share a few of the ripe berries and when we see that the bird have been partaking of a berry we leave it there for their enjoyment.
I did spread some potting soil over the small Jasmin bed, in an effort to encourage some extra growth. The beds need possibly a couple inches of dirt, but it can't be added all at one time without killing present Jasmin, so a little at a time will help.
During my periods of work, I did take a couple photos of flowers blooming, and yes, the photos will follow.
The white bloom is on a plant I call the moon plant, that was given to my favorite wife a few years ago. The blooms come on at night and then during the daylight hours if goes away. The colorful bloom is on a flower in the front yard.
Today I have a couple things that might take place, there are a few weeds and trees growing in the big Jasmin beds that I might be able to remove, and we have a broken cement Angel wing that I might try to fix. I do have a doctor's appointment this afternoon and depending on how long that takes, I might be late getting the grand kids from school.
Well, I guess I will stop for now, we hope you have a good day and please stay safe in all you do.
More rain coming. 😐
Senior ole person who is looking forward to the work, or not, Don the Ford
May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow!
