Hi Potties! Hope everybody had a pleasant Memorial Day.
Gordon - At one time Smoke had 4 different homes that we knew about looking after him. He vanished for a month or so & Zac found him - skinny & somewhat battered. He spent about 6 wks. acting as tho he would settle down at Zac's house but has disappeared again. I haven't seen the folks in the 4th house that was feeding him so I have no idea what they called him. I suspect Zac's MIL also called him Smoke. When he disappeared the 1st time he never came back over here. No idea why since I fed every time he visited. There's no telling how many "homes" he has/had but we're glad somebody got him fixed during his 1st disappearance. We assume he'll come back to Zac's place eventually.
Max - The weather reports I've been seeing indicate FL may have gotten rain over Memorial Day. Did you get any of it?
Did you watch any of the races at Charlotte? When I worked for Coke, the 600 was one race I always wrangled tickets to attend. It was a daylight race back then so it was a chore avoiding sunburn. Saw a fellow at 1 race that had a back that was burned till looked like leather. He was feeling no pain right then but I bet he was ruined by the next morning.Other than watching the races & reading I did very little over the weekend. I did blow "stuff" off both decks & on Sun. before the race started I made it a point to get the impatiens planted. I think I'll put the rosemary plant in a big planter by the back steps where there's a fair bit of sun. I haven't planted the verbena yet but may try to get to it & the rosemary tomorrow. I ran to Walmart for a couple of things this afternoon & picked up a nice pot of marked down petunias while I was there. I noticed a petunia survivor in last summer's hanging basket so decided to just replant with this new rescue.
We got really lucky early this evening & got quite a nice spell of heavy rain. That should make the newest plantings very happy. It also gives me a chance to burn paper trash before I get too much accumulated. We may get some rain the end of this week so I'll try & get everything in the ground to take advantage of "free" water.
I still haven't gotten to the old house to see about a piece of small furniture for the booth. May try & do that in the next couple of days so I can take it with me when I go to pay the rent.
Getting time to feed the land sharks so had best go. Everybody take care & have a good week. Later.
Susan
