      As so often happens the line of storms split last night, going north and south of us.  Both Tiffany and I have been watering this week and Debbie is coming to soak everything  today.  When Debbie gets done I'll continue rotating the water through the soaker hoses.  I have to water my purple waves twice a day.

      Even though we are close to the firepond I have birds enjoying the water in my little maple syrup pan pond all the time.  At least once a day I run the hose into it to clean it and cool the water.  The hummingbirds are back at the feeders.  Because I'm afraid of their food fermenting I don't put much in at at a time.  i put a little water tub with rocks in it out by the bee hives so they have water on their "doorstep".  The garden pond has a waterfall where water runs down a cedar log split in half.  The log is covered with moss.  The bees like to sit in the wet moss on the edge of the water.It is time to take some honey of but the bees are cranky when it is this hot and muggy.   The air is supposed to be dryer next week.

      Yesterday when I went to the doctors I watered the flowers at church.  They were much dryer than I expected them to be.  I will take more water than usual for them Sunday.

       The doctor did a good job on me.  I'm anxious to get started this morning.  i hope your day is good, Sally
