Looking forward to some uneventful time

The morning is starting very overcast with the chance of yet another monsoon storm.....oh well. So much for quiet and uneventful. I managed a quick skim of the pond .

Last visit The Brother Alan wanted this pot for the pond and I put a grass in....which as you can see did not make it.... but see the grass in front of it? that is what the plant was to be but decided to root itself at the pond edge and has roots in the water. I guess it did not like the pot.

So nice to see that the Gaura plant is tall and pretty in all this heat and humidity. It was not doing well last Spring so I just cut it down and here it is tall and lovely. I do see a few plants that are not faring well so they will get cut back also.

Just picked 2 tomatoes...enough for my salad today....plenty more on the plant waiting for the sun...which is not shining today. The herbs are doing okay too

the basil and needs another cutting and the oregano and thyme are growing well. Not all is a problem in the garden. This heat is causing issues and then the rain pours down and the wind causes more...nature.
I did make a couple of tatted ornaments...

This is a quick pattern and done on the very small ornaments. They would be cute on a package bow for Christmas as well as on the tree. I must say thank you to Dianna and Bobby. Got a text last evening asking what the problem in the bedroom was...next thing the text said was that Bobby would be here with her on Tuesday to get it fixed....I had wanted to try but I can not lift or pull for the next couple of weeks so that left me out. Two friends who are there without needing to be asked to help. They have been since those days last year.
Off I go to drench my thirst with plenty of iced water.... still making ice in the tray…. hope I can hold off until September when The Brother Alan is here to get another fridge. You did remember that he is arriving in September with Lisa right? Another thing added to The List. As long as it is only ice making that is an issue, then I am okay.
Guess I should get the laundry out and on the line.... glad you came by today. Thank you for your kind words and concern while I was MIA from the blog. Thank you for you friendship.
