Trimming and Pruning

 Monday, August 3, 2026

Did a little trimming and pruning today. 

The gardens have gotten a bit overgrown with weeds. I haven't been out as much due to the high temperatures we've had lately. 

Full Buck Moon

The full Buck Moon occurred Wednesday, July 29, 2026, at 9:36 a.m. Central Time. It is named for the season when male deer regrow their velvet antlers.

Holy Dewpoint

 Monday, July 27, 2026

Rain? Nope. Just a dewpoint of 80 degrees and high humidity. It's gross out there.

Couple Cigars

Couple cigars today. A little Hoyo. 

                                 

And a nice Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur. 

Coneflowers

These came back just now. Don't remember them doing so well last year. 

The Tiger Lilies Are In Bloom

 Sunday, July 19, 2026

Dale and I were talking about this year's tiger lilies and both of us think this is the best they've looked in a few years. 

Our Return Home

 Thursday, July 16, 2026

We were gone for about a week and a half. Here's what the yard looks like.

I admit it's a little overgrown in spots but it's not as bad as I anticipated.

The annuals did really well despite the heat we had. Dale said we got a pretty good amount of rain while we were gone. That helped.
