A Wonderful Friday
Could we please have more days such as this during July? Cool enough in the early morning to sit on the patio and enjoy coffee before any bugs found me.
The patio kitties found the catnip I had crimped the stem of to allow the aroma to waft that would entice them. If the stem is not broken or crimped, they would and do walk right past it.
We have not mowed our acre for two weeks. I am surprised that Dennis has not heard the whisper of the dew on the grass blades calling him. I think letting it mellow out in the dry conditions is good. Over the years, there have been many varieties of grass seed spread over the acre. KNUJ reported that in the month of June, our area has had a mere .68 inches of rain. The hot winds pretty much took care of sucking that up.
Neighbor Jan is busy watering her newly planted flowers every day that she purchased this spring. She has a red watering can with a sprinkle spout on it. All of our perennials are well established and are doing well as is. Once the water regime begins, it can’t be halted as the roots have become trained to rise to the service level for a drink. We had two inches in the last measurable rain in May.
After the mailman had been here, Dennis came down to where I was in the studio. He had a thankyou card in his hand from Megan. Megan was thanking us for coming to her graduation party and the gift that she would be using towards college expenses. Grandpa Dennis didn’t think it was fair that she was growing up. How quickly we forget the wonderful times we have had of her staying with us before she could even talk, right up until her sixteenth birthday. Super sweet memories that no one can take from us. I am quite sure more will follow.
I will appease “Grandpa Dense”, (Megan couldn’t get the second syllable out when she first began talking), with some twice baked potatoes and chicken titties for supper.
