It's business; selling news. I usually go to NOAA to look at their
predictions and models, which show the variants. Our weather is good;
nice and cool after those blistering days but no rain so we are cool and
dry.



One of my summer projects is to repot all my inside plants, including
those I bring in during winter. 16 down and 4 more to go. Of course
these last four are pretty big; two in half barrels. Although all have
been in desperate need, I had several blooming succulents. But I am
determined to get this completed this week. Also, pruned out some thick
branches that were shading out beds below. Looks so much better; plenty
of leaf and a more open canopy.



Got my book club to read Botany of Desire so am refreshing due to a presentation on Wednesday. 


Loving these cooler nights and days. 


I also will chip in for whatever is decided for Bonnie. One thought, is
there a garden in her home town where we could contribute in her name?

Here's hoping each of you is having good holiday weekend to wrap up 
this miserable summer. The media hyped hurricane Earl to the max - 
I'm sure they were capitalizing on its being the anniversary of Katrina - 
though it never looked to me as if it would amount to much, and of 
course it didn't. After a long life of hurricane watching I can usually 
predict them about as well as the meteorologists. 

Weather here today is gorgeous - brilliant sunshine, temps in the 
low 70s, but since we did not get a drop of rain from Earl, and 
haven't had a drop since the downpour two weeks ago, it's terribly 
dry again. Add to that the biggest crop of ragweed I can ever remember 
seeing, and you get a pretty bad hayfever situation. After only a few 
minutes out watering some containers, my nose and eyes are streaming. 
Oh well. 

Whenever someone decides what to do in memory of Bonnie, be 
assured that I will be glad to contribute.
