A Pretty Good Day!

15 years ago

I found a small clump of daylily blooms this morning.

I finished painting the rest of the dark green paint on the shed...still have a little of the doors to do, and tried the trim paint and hated it! We will return to Lowe's tomorrow to get yet another gallon of the main paint and try a different trim color.

DH gave me an umbrella trellis and an obelisk for Mothers Day, and he put the umbrella trellis together today...and I sprayed it the green color that I spray such items in my garden. I will finish painting it tomorrow.

I also cleared about a foot further in my new rose section and watered a lot of the garden. We had been getting rain, but it was very dry.

Blue birds are flying back and forth feeding the babies, and brown thrashes have built a couple of nests in the pear trees. I watched another pair of the thrashers gathering nest material today, and apparently my butterfly garden was prime gathering territory.

I had to set the fan to blow on me today since it was almost ninety. All week is supposed to be summerlike temperatures.

I've had my shower, eaten and am enjoying a hot brownie. Life is good.

A great day in the garden and it sounds as if you enjoyed it and got your work done both. Seems like spring is fast going away for you guys down south and summer is almost there. Ah well, daylilies will be coming on full force and that means lots of pictures.

We are very much spring here. It was a glorious day, absolutly clear and the sky was just such a perfect blue.

Sounds like you had a very busy day.Its begining to be summer here.It got to 89 and really felt hotter then that to me.I cant stay outside long at a time when it gets to 90 and above.The humidity that comes with the heat just gets me pretty fast..Show us a picture of your umbrella Trellis.

Thank you so much! Today, we started the day by going to Lowe's. Of course some idiot forgot to take the number of the paint, so we will go back in the morning, but I got a new color of trim paint, and I am giving up[ and mulching some...I'll have to do a daily vole inspection, I guess.

Jean, I will post a picture of the trellis after I finish painting it. We also got the wood and supplies for that end trellis for the new rose garden addition.

I have a lot to do today, so I had better get started.
