And So It Goes!

A rather blurry picture of a typical Bull’s Eye Rash that is a symptom of Lyme Disease.  Noticed it last night, calling doc this morning.

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

Stay safe, watch out for ticks……..thanks for stopping by…………*s*

 

Summer!

 I have finally gotten a small portion of the deck cleaned so it’s possible to sit out here under my new umbrella.

The hibiscus are loving the weather and are blooming like crazy.  As are the petunias which have all come from wintered over seed..I really should keep better notes as to which seed I have actually saved and which has just come up from old planters.  The hummingbirds started coming a few days ago.  Wish I were fast enough to get a photo; it’s enough to know that they are coming. I don’t put up feeders as the squirrels knock them down.  Hummingbirds love bright flowers.  I may try to find a few fuchsias to add to the lot.

I love sitting out here and listening to the silence.  Not really silent as the falling water of the pond filter adds to the ambience.  These are the days when I truly love being in the woods.  It’s not as isolated as my old property but it’s still pretty nice.

Work on the gardening has been slow due to my mobility problems.  However I will be harvesting catnip, oregano, and thyme.  I am going to plant basil for the fourth and, toes crossed, last time.  Every time I plant we have torrential downpours which wash away and/or rot it in the ground. This time I am planting in my window boxes, of which I have many.  At least when a deluge comes I can cover them.  We’ll see, grasshopper……..we’ll see…….

As always, stay safe…..and thanks for stopping by…………..*s*
