Yesterday, for the greatest portion of the day, the humidity made it miserable to be outside. It didn’t take long and I was soaked to my skin. What a change in today’s temperature as we awoke to 52 degrees.
I am seriously thinking of dumping the pots of flowers. Yes, yes, I know that we could be enjoying them until the first killing frost. Plants in the ground continue to pull moisture for as long as the roots continue going deeper to find it. Potted plants demand water and a lot of water as the dirt in the pots literally can disappear. In the warm weather we have had, twice a day watering seems unreasonable.
I was going to begin putting some of the garden art into the newly tidied potting shed – until the rain set in. Not a lot of rain at one time, but enough to make the mid sixty air feeling quite chilly as I was getting damp. Enough of the outside thoughts.
I can always while away time in the sewing room and then have something to show for the time. A while ago, I took a three week vacation from Facebook. I was surprised how easy it actually was. This last week, I knew I could wish several people birthday greetings via Facebook, as I did not have an email address for them. Again, I was surprised how little time I could spend on the site to do my business and then close down the site. Time on Facebook compared to the positive returns for that time did not balance out. I have it under control.
It is cool enough today to have a hot dish going in the oven. Ah, comfort food . . . you can’t beat it.
