I thought that I'd get back to this yesterday and post, but I got busy in the yard and never did. Oooweee, the wind sure did some blowing Tuesday. When it was supposed to be sunny, it was cloudy here. That gave me a chance to work in the yard and stay cool. I refilled thistle socks and when I got through, I had thistle in places that one shouldn't have thistle. When it was supposed to turn cloudy, our clouds left, and the sun broke out. I couldn't take the sun on my back any longer, so I gave it up outside. The TV was talking about all the bad weather everywhere, hail and tornadoes, and the sun was just blazing here. The wind was terrible, but not a cloud in the sky. We figured that the storm was north of us, and we wouldn't get anything. Well, we figured wrong. Around 7 P.M. we had some really, really bad winds and a bit of rain, and then the power went out. We finally gave it up and went to bed. The power came back on around 11. We got 2/10ths out of that storm, but we only had minor limbs to come crashing down. Yesterday, was much better as far as the winds were concerned. I was on a mission again. Getting the clover weed out of the backyard. I've just about got that section done. I need to learn a little more about zoysia. The little sprigs that I put out year before last are running around, and after pulling that clover weed there are just bare patches. I need to figure out what to do to encourage the zoysia to take over. The ground is hard as a rock, and I found two toady frog exit holes out there. I don't want to use dynamite. It might hurt the zoysia. I forgot to mention that I bought a lavender plant the other day. I have been contemplating where to put it. I believe that The Poison Garden will be the best place. I'll go out early today and see if I can worry a hole to death, dig to China, and fix it a nice home. It surely would be nice to pick lavender again.

Yeah, rain our way has been scarce too. I'm told the wet stuff will be more in evidence next month. I can't wait. I'm out every evening watering my plants to make sure they stick around. I planted some lavender in my yard as well. It has it's own little spot at the corner of the house. I hope your lavender does well. |
