The Good Day All Thread

Just got in from trimming the root stock sprouts from the apple trees, and removing a dead limb from one of the almond trees. The limb had been attacked by a boring insect, so I gave both almonds a good dose of neem oil, hoping that will take care of the problem.
Picked beans after my trimming episode, and Toni is right. I'm soaked, and it isn't raining. However, in comparison to my husband I'm just slightly damp! It's 9:30 a.m. and we both need another shower (the inside kind with soap). The temp is only in the high 80's so far, but so is the humidity!

 

Good Thursday morning all. Currently 10°C and clear. Rain is in the forecast for this afternoon and so I've got to work hard to get everything done before then.
Some of my heat loving plants aren't doing too well with this cool and wet weather!
No sign of bunnies this morning, that is a good thing.
Have a great day all

 

Ahhh, Friday at last!! It's been a long week and I am ready for the weekend!
Currently 19°C and pouring rain. Sump pump is running every few minutes so I must have rained a LOT.
Off to work to assemble and put out 2 outdoor fireplaces. If it doesn't stop raining after that I will come home. I need an extended weekend!
Have a great day all

 

Friday.... I don't really have beginnings or endings of a week... they just all blend together and I get Sunday mostly off. Baking bread today for a market tomorrow. and it rained. hip hip hooray. we were soooo dry. I can work in the high tunnel though as soon as I am done with the bread.

 

Good Saturday morning all! Currently 19°C with sunshine and a strong breeze. Yesterdays rain got me most of the day off, and so I was able to come home and get the floors mopped, kitchen and living room cleaned, and the laundry started. Then the rain stopped and the sun came out! Out I went to the garden to weed ... all this rain is making the weeds very happy!
Today, more laundry to do and maybe a trip to the greenhouse - all the weeding I did yesterday made more room in the garden for flowers

 

Good Sunday morning all. Currently 15°C and cloudy. I slept in today!
I picked up a few plants yesterday, so I will get to plant them today. I also still have a Rose shrub to plant somewhere, and tomato seedlings to pot up. So many things to do in the garden, but weatherman says we will get rain this afternoon. I have lots to do inside too. A busy day ahead! Have a great day all

 

It didn't make it up to 70 today and was cloudy and windy. No rain as yet though. I thought I was done wearing a jacket or sweatshirt when we went outside. Wisconsin is sure cooler than Texas or Arizona.

 

Dooley, so good to hear from you! We had rain last night and this morning, with temps in the 70's. It was nice to have the house open for a good while, but needed the AC this afternoon. After things dried out a bit I picked some tomatoes and a few cucumbers.

 

Good Monday morning all. Currently just 9°C and cloudy. No rain here yesterday, but there were thunderstorms and hail all around us.
Off to work, where I am sure the Roses will be a mess, and the weeds will be running amok.
Have a great day all

 

Good day all! I am sorely technology challenged. Today I am trying to change my photo taking so I can click & post. ( With the aid of a v-e-r-y patient hubbie) (he deserves multiple kudos).


This is a photo of an unnamed daylily. It may be 'Madge Cayse'. I'll know better when it blooms. At its feet is Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea' better known as Creeping Jenny. I love this little creeper. It is great in pots, at the feet of another plant; good foliage contrast. My advice though is to keep it out of your garden because it RUNS there instead of creeping.

Did I say I have a very patient & helpful hubbie??

 

Good Tuesday morning all. Currently 9°C and cloudy. More rain in the forecast today.
Off to work, where the battle of the weeds has only just begun. Why is it, that rain makes the weeds grow huge and slugs eat the crops? If only it was the other way around.
Have a great day all

 

I am off to work too. Cloudy here too. We are hoping for clearing. Hubbie & I hope to bike this afternoon.
Here is a photo of Rosa Zephrine de Houdin (or something like that)
