a little respite

Category: summertime | Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2012 12:39 pm

well, here we are, the end of june, and finally the big stuff is done. my brother finished mulching the walkway the other day, and it looks nice and fresh. amazing what new mulch will do! it's been a curious spring for me. i can say it has taken a while for me to get my behind in gear, can't explain why, but i worked through it, and now, it's time for watering cans, sprinklers and hoses! i moved daisies, penstemon & day lilies, dug out a gigantic hollyhock, and any other 'chore' i wanted to do, well, if it gets done, good, if not, there is always next year or later in the fall. (specifically, getting the yarrow moved to the front side of the walkway).
this is also a year of firsts for me. i actually bought tomato starts to plant, and have seen my first fruit appear. i 'gave' a little strip of dirt along the east side of my house to my twin brother for cherry tomatoes, jalepenos & thai dragon peppers, which he has been using for about 5 years and always has a bumper crop. i don't care for the hot stuff, and honestly i can't understand why anyone would subject themselves to that experience. but, to each his own!
as mister rogers said....'it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood'...and i'm going to enjoy this one, and later on, neighbors one block up are going to be shooting fireworks....will pull one of my chairs up to the fence and sit and watch them!
