The Week Begins… Again!

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

We are up early and listened to the weather report, it’s going to be 84 degrees!  We will have time to do some gardening.

But first, we are going to race to Los Alamitos to see our dear friend Vicky and check on the progress she is making with her new patio replanting.  It was a 22-mile ride with open freeways.

We took Vicky to our car, opened the trunk, and her eyes got really wide!  We have three crates of pots for her garden.  We have no more room, so we brought them into her backyard, and we could see the wheels turning.

We visited for about an hour before heading back home.

I suggested to Mary that I might do another Garden Naked Day, but after examining my suggested outfit, she said that if I did, people would be calling me “Shorty” from now on.

“Shorty??”

Mary assisted me in getting the moved plants set up with a drip line.  I had to be on a ladder to route the hoses around the gazebo, and she did not want me doing it alone.   She is a good helper!

Mary always sticks around when I am up on a ladder or stepstool.

It was getting hot, so I started cleaning up my mess and heading inside when she told me Santa had visited.  She opened everything, and to her surprise, “Little Women” was finally here; she was a happy girl.

Better late than never!

Bonnie’s flowers exploded this morning, and they were in full bloom when we went inside.

Magnificent!

We sat outside for almost two hours, enjoying the view and deciding what to do in the yard tomorrow.  After some TV, we crashed.  The heat does us in!
