(singing) "where have all the photos gone, took a long time posting" (my version)

Sure hope they find the bulk of mine, takes time to download those pictures. NUTS!

Had busy morning today. Went across the street to the intermediate school and helped work on a walled in courtyard. Has not been used in a number of years. Great place. Several teachers have taken it on as a project and will utilize the place this year. One of the teachers received a grant for $6000. What a coo! She has some really good ideas. Today we mixed sand and compost together and spread it out, the plants were to come today as well. Won't be able to help plant as my hubby has a doc appt. tomorrow morning.

Then a friend came to begin moving a piece of fence. It stands between my air/heat unit and my neighbors unit. She cannot get a mower behind her unit and there is no room to maneuver my mower. We both had units replaced a few years ago and you should have seen what those poor men had to go through. And they were both there at the same for a couple of days. They even knew each other as all these air/heat guys do. Now it will be necessary to move a few plants, dig up some roots and fill holes. More work for this ole gardener. It won't get done until it cools a whole lot, like in sept/oct.  Did you know the old tale about transplanting and moving plants only in the months that have an "R" in the spelling? Think about it.  

It Is So HOT!! and no rain, I am on my way outside to turn on the water. It is feast or famine with the weather isn't it. Oh Well, it is August now. Can't expect great weather 12 months out of the year. SC has great weather most of the time.

Wish I could take the air conditioner outside with me. Going Now  More to Come Later. LB
