I somehow managed to stay busy all day, without actually getting anything accomplished.

I didn't get much of anything that I planned to do in the gardens done today, mainly the mowing. It was really hot and humid, and after my "Go-Go-Go!" weekend I didn't feel like doing anything. I dug up some of the baby tansey to send back with my father-in-law to give to MIL, and watered since we haven't had any rain for a while. We do have a chance of it this evening and tonight, so I'm hoping my watering will guarantee that it will rain :) I also spent some time collecting seeds from the Johnny Jump-Ups, the various types of Blue-eyed Grass, and the Lyre-Leaved Sage. I got LOTS of seeds from the sage, hint hint...

I noticed that my nasturtiums are getting flower buds, woohoo! and my garden phlox is really blooming- I have to try and get pictures of it. My Butterfly Weed is also growing buds! The nesting the dove has gotten used to me so she doesn't fly off everytime I go near the Wisteria garden, which was why I finally able to collect seeds from the sage.

Went down to the pond for a whopping 1/2 hour of bass fishing- wanted to fish longer but Megan was in super-whiney mood today so I had to cut it short. I think she's tired from the weekend too ;)
