We are up early and listened to the weather report, it’s going to be 84 degrees!\u00a0 We will have time to do some gardening.<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0 It was a 22-mile ride with open freeways.<\/p>\n
We took Vicky to our car, opened the trunk, and her eyes got really wide!\u00a0 We have three crates of pots for her garden.\u00a0 We have no more room, so we brought them into her backyard, and we could see the wheels turning.<\/p>\n
We visited for about an hour before heading back home.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n

“Shorty??”<\/p><\/div>\n
Mary assisted me in getting the moved plants set up with a drip line.\u00a0 I had to be on a ladder to route the hoses around the gazebo, and she did not want me doing it alone.\u00a0 \u00a0She is a good helper!<\/p>\n

Mary always sticks around when I am up on a ladder or stepstool.<\/p><\/div>\n
It was getting hot, so I started cleaning up my mess and heading inside when she told me Santa had visited.\u00a0 She opened everything, and to her surprise, “Little Women” was finally here; she was a happy girl.<\/p>\n

Better late than never!<\/p><\/div>\n
Bonnie’s flowers exploded this morning, and they were in full bloom when we went inside.<\/p>\n

Magnificent!<\/p><\/div>\n
We sat outside for almost two hours, enjoying the view and deciding what to do in the yard tomorrow.\u00a0 After some TV, we crashed.\u00a0 The heat does us in!<\/p>\n
