Despite frequent watering, the Boston Fern is crispy and much less than amused from the 90 degree with 0% humidity days.
Felt like Arizona out there.
"Medusa" our Woolly Spanish Lavender (with attitude) was thrilled, though.
Settling in the 12 inch pot like a fat lady sinks into an overstuffed chair.
Seriously.
Going from a spiky floof of a ball, about the size of your fist, to this!
Settling in and unfurling into a 12 inch mass.
Like a fair fishbowl goldfish turned into a 100 gallon aquarium grows into a huge orange carp...I think if this was planted into the ground it would become a silvery gray hedgerow.
Anxious to see it bloom!
Several soaking rains yesterday and this morning...and warm and sunny today.
The plants are loving it (...and the fern is making its recovery...)
I'm recovering, too.
From a self-inflicted over-scheduled non-stop week.
Today my goals include finishing my Island Painting, some laundry and this blog.
That is about it.
Don and Chris and I enjoyed takeout from Almost Home and Patio Catch-Up and Chat...Our Summer Visit.
Wednesday, of course, is Insta-Cart and Grub Hub Day...and also taking care of July's bills.
Thursday was my day out this week...getting supplies for our upcoming Sisters Day and Brenda's 66th Birthday!
(...pink scrubbie for the bath, a couple of tiny (single servings) bottles of Zinfandel, Dark Chocolates, a scented pink candle, some Lady Grey tea, Pink Bubble Bath and Body Lotion and a packet of dwarf sunflower seeds for an FTD "Grow it Your Damned Self" Bouquet...)
It was a great afternoon!
On Saturday, Tina and Lisa and I had our first in-person Sisters Day since the quarantine and plague.
We did a Ham, Asparagus and Cheddar quiche, with blueberry muffins, watermelon and root-beer floats for brunch!
Then went to work on our Fairy Gardens
(...Tina's idea...she is the crafty one...)
Lisa and I had never tried it before.
It was a lot of fun!
The finished product.
(...think chia-pet...)
The succulents lent themselves to the gardens, and were easy to divide.
All in all, Tina and I thought Lisa's- with the pine cone house, was the best!
June Sisters Day 2020
So yeah...last night I collapsed...for 12 hours!
And today has been pretty low impact.
I'll start again tomorrow...lol!
Thanks for a wonderful almost-normal week, everyone!
Next week: Starting Homemade Watermelon Wine
