Going to be a hot Summer the way it's going. Still Spring and 84.2 deg (29 C) at 9.00 a.m. this morning. Looks like a hot day ahead. Thankfully there is a good breeze. Chainsaw job ahead. A tree has come down and blocked one of my tracks in the bush after the last wind. Too big to push aside with the tractor.
Youngest daughters 49th B'day today. Will have to cruise over to see her I guess. Public holiday here today.
Have a great night/day all.

We are back to MIL house. Bit of rain today on the 10 hr drive.

Roy, Drew has probably driven across that bridge, 5 miles south from the start of the Natchez Trace parkway, just west of Franklin TN. I dropped wife off at her nieces baby shower, so I had a couple hours to kill. Could have driven further, as the shower lasted longer than expected. Drove back to Franklin and sat at a civil war battlefield for awhile.

67F with light rain @ 21:00, headed down to a low of 63F in the overnight.

Got pallet of fertilizer/soil amendments/concrete stored in van after adding the four bags of starter fertilizer to the pallet.

Then worked on getting the iris rhizomes planted in pots since the area where they are going is not quite ready yet. Used screened compost as a the potting medium since that is what they will be getting planted in. Got those all done, except for the four that haven't yet shipped. Took them around back and gave them a good watering. Dumped the rest of the bucketload of screened compost in Circle No. 2 planting bed.

Picked all the tomatoes that were close to ready in the garden while I was back there, best haul so far:

Still plenty more on the vine but not ready yet. Have another round of medium hot peppers coming on as well. Looks like a good amount of BLT's over the next few days ...

Also got concrete mixer tarped and a measurement taken of the area in the east frog pond planting bed that qualifies as "full sun".

After I came back up I gathered up all the weeds The Woman pulled the other day, along with the other compostable items and took those up to the pile.

Amazon order placed, got a few more plants ordered ... will be here Friday:

Had hotwings from the local pizza joint for dinner, The Woman had a meatball sub - which She ordered "with extra sauce" (which was apparently not a good idea - I always tell them to go light on the sauce ... but that's me ... )

Cats all fed, heading down to feed the fish here in a few.

May do some clean up work out in the garage later, if my back doesn't complain too much.
Hope everyone had a great Saturday ...

55° right now...high in the mid-50's and rain today.

Physical therapist was here yesterday afternoon to work with Suzette. After insistence from my wife and stepdaughter, I installed a gate to prevent Margeaux from walking down the hall (she was sleeping in front of wife's bedroom door). I wasn't real happy and neither was Margeaux, but I guess it was necessary

good morning all
Rain system came in last night and will act up again this afternoon, bringing more rain and
warm temps up to almost 80 again. Got so stuffy in house last night had to turn a/c back on.

my only plans for today are going to local nursery with landlady and we are buying some mums together this morning.
Which means I'll be planting the first batch of mums which didn't do well; think I got what I paid for at 5 bucks from supermarket...
I have two big flat stumps in my front yard, and I like to put a big plant on top of each one. But of course that means regular watering
which is a chore but worth it for the color.

4 days until my truck is supposed to be built. tick tick tick 7 months so far

Roy, you really have your hands full. Keep your sense of humor and keep all the women and critters happy.
are they working on your truck?

Coffee is done brewing. 63° with fog this morning. Heading to 71° with rain and thunderstorms all day. Power was out for over 6 hours. Whole house generator started and ran without problems. But cable and internet was out. .65" of rain since yesterday morning. NASCAR got rained out also. May get to watch it this afternoon. No real plans for today except PT in morning.

Roy, poor dog, misses it's master.

Good luck finding the right Mums for tree stumps,

Mostly, I keep getting notices of tree color pictures that are in full this early in October. But not this year. Some color but still a couple weeks away. Grass will need mowing a couple more times at least.

RNG, "Shoot With the Sheriff" event sounds very interesting.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

 

[wngsprd]

67 going to 83. Maybe showers/t-storms.

RNG, sounds like a great day you had with the sheriff department.

Kyle, oops, i must have been predicting the next game.
