Yours truly is tuckered out. But more rain is due this weekend and stuff has to be done around here. There is a deadline of sorts, so on I go!
A beautiful day yesterday until the afternoon when sprinkles came and went while I was trying to finish mowing the front lawn before the deluge. (I did.) But that thunderstorm, when it came, was huge; thunder, lightning, epic rain going every which way, slamming against the windows, flooding the gutters. And afterward, the most spectacular sunset! It was a wowzer of a couple of hours.
Today: more mulching. Planting impatiens. Starting to clear the bed behind the kitchen which is usually weed-filled. No mowing, the ground is too wet.
More narcissus, this time in the big garden bed and another batch in the woods. They were here when we moved in, thanks to a previous owner. So beautiful.
Last night in Margaritaville, Alison, the female lead, was feeling under the weather. So her understudy got to go on for the first time. Her understudy, Keely, who is part of the ensemble happens to be married in real life to Paul, the male lead. So, she got to play opposite her husband and ‘marry’ him at the end of the show. Isn’t that wonderful? Smile worthy.
I ordered Monty Don’s latest book through Book Depository and it arrived earlier this week. I haven’t had time to start it yet, but this rainy weekend looks to be a good time. I love this guy.
I’m off to make my second cup of coffee.
Happy Friday.
