Garden natter
Jul. 1st, 2015 07:15 pmThe state of the habitat in the yard:
When it's too wet to work in the garden (which has been most of the last couple of weeks), I've been sorting out the workroom, and culling fabric and yarn. My goal is to get everything onto the shelves I have, so that the only boxes down there are the ones for the rummage sale.
The weird weather (for June -- it's not bad for April) has been wreaking havoc with FCB performances and grad parties. Last Monday's outreach gig was cancelled due to storms, and then Saturday's gig was washed out entirely. I probably wouldn't have played it anyway -- too chilly and damp for the various creaky parts of me. I rather *like* moving, yanno. There were three grad parties on the schedule anyway. Monday's gig has been rescheduled (afaik) for July 6, so there's that.
DB and SR have both received their diplomas and transcripts. DB is off to community college in the fall, SR is doing the job hunt thing, with possible grad school if nothing shows up by December or so.
- two tree frogs, one toad (at least -- that's the different calls we hear);
- indigo bunting, cardinal, oriole, blue jay, gold- and house- finch, barn swallow, three or four species of sparrows, hummingbird, red-winged blackbird, cowbird, crows, downy woodpecker, northern flicker, hairy woodpecker, mourning doves;
- the milkweed and the sea holly and the penstemon are attracting lots of bees and butterflies;
- the short orange lilies bloomed last week, the taller red ones bloomed earlier this week, the pink and white ones in the front flowerbed bloomed about a week before the ones I moved last fall, the second wave of alliums (smaller flowers) is just now starting to open, the blanketflower and sedum are blooming as well.
