Sticky fingers !!

Glue projects

Shelf with heavy planters

.

The weight of the Christmas Cactus planter caused the shelf to press downward onto the plastic container with small planters of “Money Moss.” I didn’t have a piece of wood the right size so I used some of my “pebbles for planters” plastic medicine/supplement containers. Yes, I glued my fingers together; how awkward!!

Color of paint on neighbor's porchThe paint color my neighbor chose for her porch and ramp really sent me into a tailspin!! I paid for the porch/ramp remodel; spent over $200.00 for planters, soil, plants, trellis, Shepherd’s Hooks, bird feeders, etc., so she has an attractive view. (She admired my garden and wanted one “just like [mine]”.) ~~ Five decades ago, a girl-friend in San Francisco said “If you want to know how important you are, stick your fist into a pail of water. Remove your fist/hand and see the impression left behind.”

The plants are already blooming. By mid-summer, lavish shades of purple, red, orange and yellow.

Temperature at eighty-thirtyBack again (three hours later): Burr cold ladyYesterday we needed air-conditioning, this morning we need the furnace or a sweater!!

Bailed water from tarp roofCount your blessings!! You don’t have to see half-a-dozen pictures of flood water in my yard. It’s as deplorable as the scene(s) in earlier pictures!! Fortunately, no wind so fewer fallen tree limbs. (The old lady didn’t fall off the ladder and suffer “limb” damage.)

Unscheduled !!

Tender love and careDeparting CARE residents alerted me to two volunteer plants growing in the gravel under their motorhome. Of course, Lorraine is gambling to save their lives. Seriously, they may not survive the transplant!! But they will receive TLC. (“Unscheduled” because I hadn’t planned to work in the yard today. Too hot and humid!!)
