is a day of rest. From the garden anyway. OOPPPSSS!! What is this I hear out my window?? Yikes!! It is raining!!

See me smile or rather give a huge grin. Rain two days in a row, I am impressed and the gardens will be well rewarded for their efforts during the dry spell. Go weeds Go - or am I to say Grow plants Grow? Oh well I can pull and dig the weeds and sing to the flowering plants. Just hope it will do more than just blow and go. Something like the Mow and Blow lawn services? Which reminds me I saw the fellow at church this morning that I need to call for help with my no-lawn in order to get it back into some shape to become green and growing again.

My two sons have been busy working on the swimming pool decking. Guess they are taking a short break about now. It is looking good. We had sub sandwiches at lunch time together a little earlier. They were dirty and sweaty, especially the older son who was born looking like that little guy from the Peanuts comic strip - the one with the cloud of dust over his head all the time.

I have two angel trumpets with buds and one is almost open now. And I got a pix of the first red cutleaf Hibiscus blossom. It is huge. My neighbors red is a regular leaf round dinner plate and right now it is outdoing itself with flowers. Just beautiful!! I take pictures of her plants just like I do mine. And when I get several good pictures I print them out for her. I did that one time last year and took them to her. It turned out to be her birthday that day. It was a nice surprise for both of us.
