I’d better hurry, too, because it’s almost stopped raining!

Bee balm in Sarah’s garden. Looks like the ordinary “Oswego tea”, but shorter, and smaller blooms. Still pretty! Raspberry something, or Fire Marshall. Dunno which.

Buds on 544’sBright Lights. Go, crazy orange/gold/yellow flowers, go!

Since I took yesterday and today as vacation days, Wednesday was my Friday. I was too tired to do much, but did install soaker hoses in the swamp part of Sarah-Flah’s garden. We may be getting a lot of rain now, but it’s not July yet, either, and lobelia likes wet feet.

My big accomplishment yesterday was planting my last dogwood. I put it over on the south side, hoping to block the view of the ugly utility pole.

That would have left me with only the Sonic Bloom pink-that-is-red that I got for 40% off left to plant, but I went to Buchheit after I stopped in to work for a little while, and their green stuff was all 50% off, so I got two Java Red weigela, and two Minuet weigela. No idea where to put them, but I’ll think of something!

It was getting dark by the time I’d finished binding up my poor skilsaw to cut 45s on two of the landscape timbers that were really too thick to cut with it, but I wanted to at least get them started. I don’t think I’ll be able to finish today because they’re wet, but I will tomorrow, assuming it doesn’t rain again before then.

Rain has stopped, and I think the sun is coming out. Time to get dressed and get some work done!
