4 things you can't get back: The stone after it's thrown, the word after it's said, the occasion after it's missed, time after it's gone.

Darel had a pleasant day, some of it spent in his chair at the greenhouse, some in the front room with the air conditioner. Staying cool when the temperature is in the nineties is nice but boring. He was ready to go to the Creamery in the evening..
I weeded and watered yesterday. After I did some hand watering I turned on the soaker hose under the cucumbers and weeded. There are lots of little cucumbers. We had summer squash for supper. My poor David phlox that the woodchuck ate to the ground is coming back. A shadow of its former glory but with TLC it will return. It is surrounded by self seeded little verbena bonariensis plants. That corner will be a late bloomer this year. I'll put some cosmos in there today. I cleaned the weeds and grass out along that wall so this afternoon before the rain I can plant cosmos, purple cone flowers and more verbena. I'll have both blossoms and butterflies!
Our barns are filling up, so are other peoples's barns. Two loads of hay went to Hermon last night. By noon all the hay that is down will be mowed away. Then a few days break and more fields will be mowed. The break will give me chance to plant my flowers and flowers for a cutting garden. Even with lots of watering newly planted plants struggle with sun and ninety degrees. It was in the mid nineties all day yesterday. Godd for the hay, hard on the crew..
Have a good day, Sally
