Too Darn Hot!

This weather is just too much! Too much heat, too much humidity too much sitting around waiting for it to cool off.

However, complaining won't change it and so I will get on with life. My patio garden is full and I still have a ton of things to plant.Found a great sale after I thought I was about done and brought home about 4or 5 more flats, mostly annuals that need to get into containers post haste!

I try to go out early in the morning while it is cooler but it is so humid that I can only work a few minutes at a time, better than nothing I suppose. Hope Norm will get out and spray the tomatoes, I see signs of early blight and have been hoping for some really nice tomatoes this year. Had Swiss chard tonight along with sweet corn, sweet potatoes and strawberry mousse' Another veggie night...healthy and good!

Took Twerpie to Dr. West last week...the reason he seems to have lost his balance and is blundering into things is because he has lost almost all of his sight in the past couple of months. Poor little guy, he had such a miserable life before we got him and I had hoped to make his last years happy. Well, guess they will still be happy as he is always walked on a lead anyway and he can still smell the chicken in his food dish.

 I see now why he jumped off the couch into the coffee table about 4 times in the past few weeks! Muffin went along for the ride as she needed to be weighed..she has gained a whole ounce!!! Heart murmur no better but she seems to be doing well so far.

Tomorrow will be a fun day...Debbie and I are going to spend the day doing something nice, we just don't know what it will be. Antiquing, shopping, maybe drive up to Cooperstown or down to Binghamton and go to some favorite stores and of course EATsomething good and unhealthy somewhere along the way.

catch up later, still have things to do tonight.

 

Is it Spring AGAIN???

I can't believe it's Spring again. Not only that but it's almost Summer and I just finished getting the last of the Christmas things put away..where do the days go when they fly by so quickly? I always think of those old movies that indicated the passing of time by showing a calendar with the months flying off and swept into a passing wind.

I will be celebrating a birthday soon and some days lately have been beginning to feel my age. I hate growing old but know that the alternative is worse by far. Maybe someday I will feel that I have lived long enough but believe me, that is in the distant future [I hope].

The gardens are weedy and overgrown, I just can't seem to keep up with so many so this year [as in the past]  I have vowed to cut back and I fully intend to do so this time. I have several flats of annuals waiting, 3 new Clematis, a Honeysuckle vine and a flat of perennials and a couple of dozen tomato plants waiting to go in as soon as I'm sure the danger of frost is over. The past couple of nights have still been cold enough for most of them to freeze so I'll hold back on the most tender until after June 6. The pansies I planted in April are doing better now and I still have more to plant.  My best gardening fun this year so far has been taking digital pictures of whatever I can find that looks interesting and making new albums.

Feel tired tonight so "Good night, Journal", 'til next time.
