Well, the neighbor had a washer delivered yesterday. Thankfully she took my advice of a few days ago and asked the delivery men to come in via the back door. She was going to have them truck the thing all the way the length of the deck. I advised that would be a bad idea as the deck has become rather unstable. Ah, the drawback of wood decking. I had to clear her laundry room of shelves, boxes, and detritus so they could get it in. They did. and then I had to put everything back! Oi... packrats. #:~|
Been weeding the front garden for a week. About three-quarters done. All that bending does a number on my back! Found lots of golden poppies hiding in the weeds. Need to get a weed whacker though. Lots of border issues with the weeds. Anyway, just need to do the end around the purple Iris, in full bloom, and around the Mr. Lincoln rose,, also in full bloom. Looks like it might be a good year for the garden.
The veggie garden is coming along slowly. Had to erect a shade cloth for the lettuce as the sun was already burning it. The purple string beans are growing like they're in a race and determined to win! Have to put up something for them to climb. Pansies and Johnny Jump Ups (violets) are coming along very slowly. Kinda like they're making up their minds whether to grow or not. All of the iris loved the wet spring we had and are spectacular! All except the new ones from Schreiners. They used to be a really good place to buy from. Like many old firms, I think they may have gone downhill. Very sad.
Cut the three big boys back by half in their hay (this saves by a quarter what I'm feeding). We're kinda short on hay and long on pellets. besides, the grass is fabulous this spring. I did double what they are getting in their buckets, to make up for it. They've been very happy with the arrangement. Might have to cut back Louie though, He's beginning to look preggers.
Expecting a dash of rain tomorrow evening. It was a misty, moisty morning today. Made for a lovely cool day.
Well, I hope everyone around here has a great week.
