I offered to help the folks get ready for a party they were hosting for their Grange next week. The big things on the list were getting the garage cleaned up (check that one off the list), then weeding the backyard and finally washing the windows (really wish you were here, Rod!!!). Mom and I tried for several days to finish the weeding in the back yard, but, it was just too hot for her to work too long. And if I had done it, well, lets just say she would have needed a LOT more mulch because I didn't know what was weed and what was plant. LOL
We were thrilled that a rainy day forced us inside to work on those windows. Jodie had stopped over to take Dad to get a new phone, so, Mom and I finished up on the porch. It had rained heavy the night before, so she was reluctant to work on the planters, but, I talked her into it.
We started with the east end of the oval flowerbed and went to town. We broke for lunch and because it was still cool we headed right back out to finish the little rectangular planter to the back. By the time we were through, Mom had a plan in mind to divide the perennials later on and move things around a bit. I mulched the bed the next morning before going camping!
That evening skies rolled in and we got another three inches of rain to add to the 2.5 inches the night before! The yards need it around here!
