jennlkHowever, I don't think it's rained much (if any) since my last post. So I've been watering things. The tomatoes got a good long soak yesterday, but today's rain only got a fraction of an inch down, so it's probably a good thing. There are lots of little green tomatoes on all the plants, so I have hopes of actually getting some tomatoes this year. The hardy hibiscus is really blooming a lot this year -- we've gotten enough rain for it. It's been sending up new stems every year, but the new stems haven't bloomed. I should add it to the water-if-it-doesn't-rain-for-a-week list. The prairie bed is full of sage and cornflowers. And honeybees. There are bumblebees all over the sea holly. (The grower claimed it was the 'Miss Wilmot's Ghost' cultivar, but it's too blue.) There's also a second flush of yellow California poppies and some hollyhocks. J found a Red Hot Poker under a garden bench -- it had survived a few years of getting chopped off by the lawnmower -- and moved it into a spot in the garden.
DB&J are off at MakerFair at the Henry Ford -- DB is there with his FIRST robotics team (& robot), & J is there to drive and poke around.
I got a few more things put away, but I'm waiting on the cabinet for the living room. once that shows up, I can start really putting things away.
DB starts band camp on Aug 3 with a rookie orientation meeting that he needs to be at, and then there's a leadership meeting on the 4th before camp actually starts on the 5th. SR may help out if needed. The last FCB performance of the season is tomorrow, and then we get five weeks off before we start all over again in September.
Ji-kitteh caught a chipmunk yesterday, and tried to bring it into the house. He didn't quite succeed.
