Rain, but not nearly enough

This week, it rained. I have to say, it felt pretty good to have a break for a couple of days. It didn't last, though, just long enough to give everything a bit of a drink, and then, back to 80 degrees. I can handle 80, the water bill, not so much. It's only been a couple of days, and things are already starting to dry out again.

The garden is filling in nicely, though. There were a few more clearance things this week, another Echinacea or two, a yellow poker plant, a couple of grapes, and a nice grass. The nurseries are really starting to wind down now, so....we'll have to see. Next will be the total clearance sales. There were some good things there last year.

The garden is doing great too....blueberries, still some raspberries, pumpkins, squash, and even an artichoke!

 

The lilies are blooming too.....too bad we don't have smell-o-vision. I'll definitely be getting more of these next year, and moving the ones out of the front that I keep fighting the deer for.

 

These came from Costco, by the way.

 

Next week......hanging at the fair, and the usual rounds of clearance rack.

It's always a treasure hunt!
