Re: today in the garden

How lovely for you. Miss Sugar will just have to sulk I guess. You have needed this day.

Sounds like you had a lovely day! I am too - it's been drizzling all day
here. Hasn't done that since time out of mind. No great accumulation
(about 3/4") but marvelous just the same. Just went for a stroll out back
w/ a glass of vino and was like being in a temperate rain forest (albeit w/
tropical humidity). Was a wonderful change of pace this has been. Been
reading (and de-cluttering) all day, no hoses to move. What a blessing.
Sugar is not impressed, but oh well - ya can't have everything. LOL

I pruned everything away from the sides of the house.  Sometime later
this month we are getting the wood siding (crappy stuff with dry rot)
ripped off and stucco on to replace it.  Yes, I'm sick of repainting and
replacing siding- especially on the south side of this house.  Rather
excited about the triple-layer stucco with fiberglass elasto- something
or another that has the colorant in all three layers.  Hypothetically,
we won't have to paint ever again.  I'll be happy if we make it 4 years
without painting.
So- sore shoulders and back- did more today than I have since I had
surgery.  And not that I did that much- just out of gardening shape
clearly!!  Oh, I also dug out 2 pink jasmine that used to climb the back
arbor.  They were just getting carried away, were a spider haven after
they bloomed, and the arbor has to come down temporarily when the stucco
is applied anyway.  I filled both yard/garden waster barrels- so now I
have to wait 2 weeks until they get emptied again.  (They alternate
recycling and yard waste every other week here).  Gorgeous day though
and overall a nice weekend.  Saturday evening I went with a friend to a
minor league baseball game that went 16 innings.  I was great!  Where
else can you get 5 1/2 hours of entertainment for $9??
