Hi Potties - Looks like Mother Nature is trying to drown us down here. It's rained every day since Sun. afternoon & is supposed to rain again on Thurs. That's good news for the flower bed I've been working in even if I didn't get it fertilized before the rain came.
Katie - What kind of goodies did you find this time? Your house must have been as much of a treasure trove as Bear's old house has been.
Marson - I didn't realize dahlias were water lovers. I may have thirstied mine to death. If either one survives until next year I'll try & remember to water them/it more often. I too have cut back quite a bit - most of my gardening is on the 2 decks nowadays. I'm definitely an older woman now 🙂
It's been a fairly slow week since the rain has kept me house bound. I had to get out on Mon. to keep an appointment with my primary care dr. I don't see how she manages to keep up with a 15 yr. old son, 6 mo. old baby girl & still work full time. I'm set up for a bone density scan on Fri. & then nothing till Nov.
Once I left the dr. on Mon., I ran by the booth with a box of smalls. While I was there I met a young man who wants Louis L'Amour & Zane Grey westerns for a friend who collects them. I dug thru several piles of books here & found an assortment of both. I may give him a call tomorrow & see if he wants to meet me at the booth on Fri. to look them over. I'm sure there's a bunch at the old house but probably won't get over there before next week to gather whatever I can find. All this rain has kept the humidity so high that it's not only messing up cloth & paper in the old house, but it's harming stuff here too. I was digging in both bedroom closets last week & found that any shoes that aren't worn regularly are getting mildewed. Same thing with a couple of my curios. Guess I need to put in a call the the man who's handled our HVAC issues for the past 20 odd years & see if he can install a dehumidifier on the furnace he installed a few years ago. It's been so mild I haven't used the a/c or furnace in a couple of weeks. That hasn't happened in the 30 years I've lived here. Guess I can blame it all on climate change.
Time to feed the land sharks & then head for bed & book. Everybody enjoy the milder seasonal weather while it lasts. Later.
Susan
