Received more plants in the mail today and seed for several different Daturas. They will be beautiful next year.

Also received more rain and that has been wonderful. The temp only got to 68 or so and I was comfortable in my jeans and a light long sleeved knit shirt. It felt good.

Spent the day putting together a metal framed Futon. If you think you want to do that, my advice is Don't. I had so many interruptions all day it took forever. Then  where the seat/back frames are  put together, the holes did not line up on the last two sets of screws. That is such a bummer. But the job is done and it will be useful after all.

Can't wait to get back outside. I took pix of the cactus plants and the plants I potted up the other day, plus two of my reblooming iris are in bloom so took their pix as well. I have had enough of being indoors.

I remember as a very young wife the time I had my first front porch.  My favorite thing was to keep it swept. Now I know it was because I was OUTDOORS. Wish I had known then how much it meant to be not to be cooped up in the house. Even when I had kids, I was happiest when I was outside with them. Even had a small garden at one point. Grew corn, green beans and popcorn!!  The kids though that was funny.

Going to rest well tonight then start rearranging some furniture to accomodate the addition of the futon. I go through these spells of moving things around. I have my mother's hutch and it is full of dolls, part of her collection and part of mine. It is time to put them back in their boxes and get some of my glass pieces displayed instead.
