I’m so excited!! I just watched a Hummingbird sipping from the flowers on my Black and Blue Salvia 🥰
“Black and Blue Salvia (Salvia guaranitica) is a striking tender perennial famous for its electric cobalt-blue flowers nested inside deep black calyxes.” 💙🖤💙

That is very exciting Kathy. 😍 The Saliva sounds very strikingly beautiful with the cobalt-blue and black calyxes.
I am kind of regretting now the 2 big pots of Martha Washington and 3 other assorted Geraniums, wish I had bought different
varieties of flowers but still they are pretty. I bought a hummingbird feeder today, not the disk kind I like but it will be okay. Denny put a plant hanger right off the front windows to hang it, so we can watch them feeding hopefully. I made the sugar water and have washed out the feeder.

Good Morning! Foggy and 61 going up to 74. Showers are possible this morning and then scattered thunderstorms could develop this afternoon.
Yesterday Craig made more progress on his landscape gardening projects. He could have done more but wisely decided not to overdo that kind of labor. Craig hopes to do more landscaping work today (weather permitting).
I made more progress on my major home office project. I hope to get a little more done today.

The other day my little lizard friend crawled up the shepherds hook to pay me a visit 💗

Hi Kathy,

We also are having rain, it started pouring about a half hour ago and looks like it will last through tomorrow around 3pm.
We do not have to worry about drought now for sure, with so much rain we have had. I hope you won’t get the thunder storms
today.
Good move for Craig to decide to break up the landscape projects between yesterday and today. 🙂
It always feels good to get home office work taken care of. 💜

Good morning I went to the Memorial at church yesterday morning for Mary Lu. I knew so many people there since they were church members and there were a few there that stopped coming to church for various reasons. Gary and Lori were there, I used to cut his hair. I ran into him at a concert here in Jan. I hadnt seen him since i retired. He told me the and was coming again the end of Sept. so I came home and bought tickets…..its basically standing room only for his concert. Gosh the tickets are now $20 more… Read more »

Hi Ardy,
Oh good you got $25. back and can keep it.😊
Sorry for the loss of you church friend, sounds like a lot came to her memorial. 💗
I didn’t see the name of the concert you are buying tickets for? I know how much prices have gone up on any entertainment.
Price gorging for ticket venues is crazy.

He and his band Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers are local from AZ. They are very popular and play all over. In fact they will play in Aitkin, MN. where JoAnn lives now, where i will be the end of July. But they will be there a few days before I arrive.
Tickets were $42 in Jan and now $65….We have to pick and chose what concerts we REALLY want to see.

Yes they are! That is why we dont see too many. I heard on the news that many big time bands have even canceled concerts because people aren’t buying tickets. So maybe they should think about it and not charge so much.

Good morning, We got the contract in our email yesterday and signed it and the addition work will begin on June 2nd. YAY! Today will just be cloudy, which is better than rain predicted but Memorial Day tomorrow will be raining. It was sunny and nice yesterday. We hired a young man to cut more tree limbs and brush here and to take it away. He did a wonderful job and so worth hiring for getting it taken out of the yard. Abe is just 19 years old and a hard worker, he wants to have his own landscape company… Read more »

Hi Jenn
No, You hadnt shown us the plant stand. That is very nice and made with love. It’s too bad wood is expensive now.
Glad you got your branches all trimmed and hauled away.

Hi Jenn
Great news that you received and signed the contract for the work. Exciting that the work will begin June 2nd.
