It has been dryer than a pair of gym shorts on the long cottons cycle. I mean seriously. We have had 0.27 in the last 27 days. The temperature forecast for tomorrow is 105deg. I've been managing to keep things alive. I bought a new soaker hose for the vegetables. They seem to enjoy it. I also laid down some of that weird no weeds cloth stuff to keep the weeds from getting all the water. So far the vegetables seem to be loving the change. The peppers are finally recovering from being eaten nearly to the ground by the deer and the beans are flowering. My 1$ cherry tomato plant is covered in green tomatoes on the back porch. I planted it in much to small of a pot so it requires daily watering. Live and learn right! My parsley, germander, chives, and oregano are all blooming. It really is amazing that people don't plant them as ornamentals! One of my neighbors actually asked "what that purple flower is". The look on his face when I told him chives was priceless. Dan and I also planted two apple trees. They are both 3 in 1 trees with gala, fuji, and yellow delicious. The deer ate about half of one of the trees so we will have to wait and see what happens. I think we may completely loose the gala branch. The chickens are doing well, however, Cookie hasn't laid an egg this month. I think she might be going through a molt, but it is hard to tell. Maybe she is just getting lazy. I have started a new workout regimen to try to meet my wedding weight goal. I have set myself a realistic goal and fingers crosses, I will achieve it not just for the wedding but for my own health.
Thanks for visiting!
