Today has been beautiful! I'm going to make a note for the history books. The air is CALM. We have no WIND today! It feels so strange. Everything is just holding still. Guess I should be out taking pictures and maybe they wouldn't be blurry for once!
Really should be spraying and deadheading myself. we'll have lots of family in town for a nephew's wedding on July 14, and I think if I deadhead now, most of the roses would be fully in bloom then. In fall it takes 6 weeks, but in summer it's more like 3-4, because most of mine are shrubs, floribundas and Austins.
I also remember miserable summers spent in NYC, in Howard Beach. Hot stinky stagnant air. yuck. I am going to stop complaining about our dry air. Remind me next time I start to whine.
Now...heading back outside where I don't have to water! The rain gauge said 4" this morning but I think 2.5 of that was left over from the last storm. I couldn't have slept through that much rain.
Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.
