Wash After Eating

We spent an enjoyable few hours outside today. Despite the rising humidity it was mostly overcast and breezy, perfect for planting the perennials we purchased more than a week ago (speedwell, blazing star, violas); we also transplanted a blazing star that’s a few years old to a flower bed less bothered by deer and woodchucks. It hasn’t been able to flower in three years! We also have not seen a black eyed susan or cone flower for multiple years for the same reason. Those will likely be moved this fall. The dilemma is where, lol • All the gardens are looking good and keeping up with watering to keep them that way will be a challenge. The area is experiencing drought conditions and we’re now headed into the warmest part of the summer. Fingers crossed we can avoid water restrictions • Before heading into the house to cleanup and figure out dinner, I sat in the middle of our front lawn and waited. Within minutes I was entertained by a multitude of young gray squirrels and several chipmunks at the feeders. No worries, the cat was inside • It’s Saturday night. A glass of Rosé and a veggie stir fry await! Be well, Blipmates, may peace and joy be yours.
