Our gardens are looking great--tomatoes are up about 18 inches, the squash, canteloupe and zucchini hills are really starting to look like real veggie hills, and maybe some baby flowers have taken hold. Been picking iris and peonies for our house enjoyment, and the new/old chicken pitcher. Had to water garden and flowerbeds once already, but rain is predicted this weekend. And storm clouds are gathering.
Otherwise, we have moved onto the screened porch for the summer, and are really enjoying it. Kitties love playing in the plant jungle out there, and yesterday we found Mrs. Mouse deciding to nest in the elephant pot. After the kitties told us of their discovery, hubby took Mrs. Mouse and the pot outside to scoot her out of a dangerous circumstance. Then I screened the pot holes so she wouldn't come back in. And we wouldn't have a baby mouse party. Then when I was feeding the roses, I noticed this BIG nest area, right in between the rose bushes, woods violets all smashed down to make a nice cozy leaf bed. I suspect a young deer has found its night home, alongside the convenient water source, our waterfall ponds, and safe from the neighbor dogs--and ours, Miss Molly, staying inside on her pad at night.
So we are making the leap into summer. Had to finally turn on the air conditioning, MO humidity movin' on in!
