56 degrees going back to 82 today in clear weather. Then the outlook for the next week is a bit wetter than this last very dry week here.
Am glad of the dry weather; the gutters finally got on yesterday after waiting a month. The insulation is going into the crawlspace, the hallway floors are ripped up waiting for a new oak "engineered" floor to go in hopefully today. Ripping up wood floors sure makes a mess, and now they tell me they have parts of the underlayment they have to sand. Good things all the rooms here have pocket doors, but the dust still comes through the bottom. Every day with the vacuum....but progress is being made.
This mess and disorder is beginning to get me down. Have to keep my eye on the prize.
The roses are planted in the rose garden and I'm making up a second order from J&P.
Went to a local nursery about four miles away down the same street I'm on, down an incredibly long dirt lane full of potholes, junkyard dogs, wasn't sure I should have gone down there half way down the lane, but glad I did. At the end was an super messy old landscape nursery with about a dozen different type trees, most in nice shape. Full size crepe mytles for ten bucks. Huge crepe myrtle trees for thirty bucks. Dogwoods for ten dollars. Boxwoods for six dollars. Kind of hard not to go nuts in there. Might have to bring back my trailer and stock up. Nothing like a end of season clear em out sale to get me over enthused. And I love to plant.
went out the night before the lunar eclipse, warm night, just walked around with my camera wondering if it would take a pic at night. Well....
And if they are laying down a floor today, I need a very good reason to stay outside. Hard to listen to all that banging. and for your smile of the day, check out the guy standing on the top of his stepladder wearing a company tshirt that shouts out Be Safe....
