It sounded so nice the rain hitting the house roof.<br /> In total we received 1&1/2 inches, plus also enjoyed the somewhat cooler temperature yesterday.<br />Take care, stay safe & keep coolColleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106960827480062745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-60849294278529861312021-08-02T17:29:57.682-05:002021-08-02T17:29:57.682-05:00Them there are some pretty nice darn weeds!

The cleaned bed looks so neat. Glad you put down cardboard on it to keep the weeds and grass from returning. <br />I’m glad you didn’t try to do all of them. In this heat, you would have gotten very sick. Remember, slow and steady wins the race!

The rains continue. When Franklin and Penelope go out, I join them for a few minutes to pull a couple of weeds or swing around the weed whipper where the mud is so bad that I can't use the mower. It's a long summer.<br /><br />Love,<br />Janie Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-21241314799773296572021-08-02T11:23:49.199-05:002021-08-02T11:23:49.199-05:00The smartest thing you did was breaks often that i...The smartest thing you did was breaks often that included water. There is only so much a person can do and stay well. If those beds dry out before you weed another, wet them down to "loosen" the weeds.

A concept DH doesn't seem to understand.<br /><br />That's waaay to hot to work in the yard/garden for long. Then I remember farm workers and anyone else required to be outside working no matter what.
