6/18/26  Be careful with your words.  They may be forgiven but they won't be forgotten.

Cloudy, calm, 55 degrees.  Rain today, starting between 8 and 9, ending late this evening.  Overnight fog.  A SE wind, high 61, low 55.  Partly cloudy tomorrow, a light WSW wind, high 76, low 56.  Perhaps an early morning shower Saturday, then partly cloudy.  A strong NW breeze, high 65, low 53.  Afternoon thunderstorms Sunday, a NW breeze, high 71, low 54.  Showers Monday, a SW breeze, high 76, low 56.  Rain Tuesday, a NE breeze, high 67, low 56.  Partly cloudy Wednesday, a NW breeze, high 75, low 55.  PM showers next Thursday, a SW breeze, high 75, low 55.  Showers next Friday, a SSE breeze, high 73, low 55.  Possible afternoon showers next weekend and Monday the 29th.  Westerly breezes. highs Saturday and Sunday 74, lows 55.  Monday's high 77, low 59.  Partly cloudy Tuesday the 30th, a WSW breeze, high 79, low 60.  Partly cloudy July 1st and 2ed, highs about 80, lows about 60.

   Our plants are loving the rain, we aren't worried about dry wells, now  "When can we make hay?"  Farmers are making round bales, they don't need to be as dry as the hay made into square bales.  Round bales are often wrapped, square bales go in barns.  We aren't complaining about the heat, in fact we are putting  pellets in the pellet stove.  Today will be a raw, chilly day.

   We weeded the front flower garden yesterday.  Bekah has sme iris she is planting in the blank spots.  Tomorrow we'll mulch it.  I'll spray horticultural vinegar on a strip along the house.  It isn't good for the house to have plants or mulch against it.  We have never used vinegar, we are hoping it will eliminate the hand weeding.  I pour boiling water around the rocks by the step.

   Breakfast at my sister's this morning, a perm this afternoon.  In between the forecast says to plan to fill the cookie jars.  I've been washing hummingbird feeders this morning.  I'm only hanging them back up a quarter full.  Their babies need lots of protein so hummingbirds are catching aphids for them. One of the feeders hangs by my climbing rose bush in hopes that they will eat the aphids that always seem to get on it.  Also many flowers are blooming, supplying them with natural nectar.

   May your day be blessed, Sally
