IN Carmel

 Other than all the little stuff that makes the day happen, there were just two big things that happened.  One in the morning and one in the afternoon.  I should add another one.  USA is playing tonight.  So...here goes a little of the stuff.   This morning I had a follow up with my heart doctor.  And that all went well with one exception.  I checked early.  The doc was running late which never makes me fret.  But what did let me fret that for some unexplained reason, they forgot to call me back from the waiting area to see the doctor.  After two men that appeared after me with later then my appointment were seen, I appeared at the desk with sort of when am I being called.  It was an hour after my time that finally I saw the doctor.  Geesh!  Blood pressure was high.  I didn't wonder why but I said what needed saying about my May concerns and went on my way. Done Over With and Done.   The afternoon ...

 This will be short because the day was pretty short on all that happened.   There was unusual church which was pretty good with all that was going on with the regulars.   Everything happened that was supposed to happen and we all carried on even if most of the staff for many reasons were not there.  I'm wishing them all well and particular those who have Covid.  During the hospital stay they both came to visit but so far the body is staying strong and I am grateful.                               T he Becky Daisy's are coming on strong.  There is nothing quite like a Becky. The afternoon consisted of a great sleep and another soccer game with Brazil experiencing a big upset with Norway coming out on top.   That was followed with the once a month family zoom with all in attendance excepts some of the grandsons.  The garden received a big neglect...

 This morning I felt sorry for the tomatoes.  So...water came their way as well as the Mexican Sunflowers and the other Sunflowers.  The last two were really malingering.  Poor things.  I have got to do a better job.  My excuse, good or bad in nature is they are far from the hose.  But with two gal. of water in each hand I managed to give them a great drink.  It should last for a while.  The Dahlias were refreshed as well and that was pretty much the watering story. I did forget the cucumbers who need a lot of water to make cucumbers.  I fixed that in the evening.                                         Ms. Tipsy.  For having a name like that I think she's doing well.                                     ...

                      This Dahlia is looking good.  It is far from the bunny paradise where food was free. Last night I pulled the hose off the roller so this morning IT was waiting for me.  And IT just would not go away.  Darn!  So as usual after putting it off with all the other things that get the morning moving I attached the sprinkler, set the devise to the shape needed and turned on the water.  Resetting happened with each bed that was watered and more beds were blessed with the far beds still waiting.  The job was sort of fun with the unexpected spray of water cooling me off from time to time.  So some places in the garden I'm hearing a sigh of relief from the week of heat.  I'm ignoring  those needing water.  Mean gardener! But please, the far bed is filled with mostly drought tolerant plants.                Tomorrow I'll...

Could the heat be a problem naming the day correctly?  Maybe.  I wouldn't be surprised.                                               The canna are looking good stretching up tall and straight.  Another day to do what needs doing.  Another day for soccer.  Last night's USA game was a dozy.  Those boys just kept on going no matter what.  That's what a winner does.  And now we're on to more soccer today.   And as usual the day had a beginning again.  I can always depend on that.  There was a very slow breakfast on the patio,  What was watered yesterday looked pretty good.  And what wasn't seemed to be O K.  I made that decision because I just didn't want to pull the hose out.  I did a little bucket watering but not much.  Tonight the peppers seem to be asking for a dr...

       A Holly Hock living at the Jared Russell home.  Their seeds are also from friends in the U P. Adding another day to the week.  It's one of those repeats that keep happening.  So here's to Thursday.                        Most of our H H's are coming to an end with one exception just starting at the patio.                                                 What color will it be. All the seeds will be saved when dried on the stock.  It was another wide awake Thursday mornings that has been a part of my life for a long time.  Half light and half dark and I chose to put my feet on the floor again.  It was morning with Meeka and more.  I put my body on the patio at some point and thought about the morning.  Yes, water...
