Maybe a stormy day?

I seriously doubt that this day will be really different than the last days.... it will be hot  ...already 95 at 6AM. The temp will be around the 110+ mark again. It is Monsoon season after all. On Thursday we had the first Dust Storm

The poor palms were definitely feeling the winds. The Dust Storms most always come from the East/ Southeast and blow towards the West… that is where I am. If I get the dust it is from the low end of the wall of dust. This one was about 100 miles long and about 100 feet high at it's peak. The debris was flying as you can see in the picture. Today is starting a bit cloudy with a chance of drops. The garden is a mess and the pond also. I am being cautious with all the bees that are about the pond so I will top it off as needed and wait until the exterminator is here on Wednesday to check for a nest. I am all for saving the bees but I also want to save me. The garden needs some trimming. This heat seems to have affected a few of the plants. That mean I must try to get out there before it is too hot...now let me see, the days have been starting at 90+.... guess I will be having a few losses out there. My recent doctor appointment was to a skin specialist.... his advice is for me to be more careful in the sun as I have a few issues to deal with. And no garden work or walking without a hat!
I have a front walkway visitor....

I guess the mating season is over as I am not seeing much of  that activity.... there are not crowds of them out in the courtyard! They are lucky if they are in my garden as I will not be raking up too much debris and they can be safe for now. I am keeping the birdbath as filled as possible for the thirsty birds and the hummer feeders too.

My craft cart is all set up...Tatting, Beading and whatever all sorted in the shelves and ready for use. Now to just grab it and do something. My hand has been rested and feeling okay to create. I have about a dozen beaded baubles and sent one off to my Aunt Rose Marie…

So happy she loves it. I found these glass hearts that I alternated with lavender rounds.... I like how it turned out. I need to make more of the tatted snowflakes so that is where I am focusing on.
I am doing an experiment...

My large Sansevieria plant otherwise known  as the mother in law tongue plant.... needed to be repotted and a section was not well. So, I followed the suggested cutting for rooting and we shall see if they take. The ends are finally dried enough to plant. I have carefully laid them with the tops all in the same direction so now we shall see what happens.
Guess that about covers what is going on around here...or not. It has been nice  visiting with you... thank you for your kind words and for your friendship. An update on the mother EvaP...she has so enjoyed all the cards that you have sent. You really helped her with the transition. Thank you because in helping her you have helped The Brother Alan, sis Lynowl and me!
