A few hot days in the high 80-degree mark, hot for this time of year, I've watered what seed I did plant so far. The water from the rain barrel is good for the plants, and the bird bath, deer like it to. It was a good investment, something I'm glad we took the time to do, harvesting rain from the heavens.
What the squirrel don't dig up and the deer don't eat, we'll see what is left.
Scaling back this year. A couple of tomatoe plants (purchased), basil, and some squashes. I've already watered this morning, while it is comfortable, did a wee amount of weeding.
It is Monday, bread should be made today, we'll see.
Yesterday I went through the yarn I had in my tinker box, bagged it up. What my son doesn't take to the senior home will go to thrift shop.
This is a very pretty basket; we purchased from an Amish Stand many Years ago. It has held yarn of all this time. It is now 1/3 full with just cotton yarn, I'm not ready to part with yet. It was full to the top with yarn stash, which somebody else with love now, and work with, making beautiful things with.
Pulling from the Myst of Time today, a previous posting, with a relevant topic.

Have an amazing Monday!
Be of good cheer!

We scaled back this year too, and all because we are so tired of the squash bugs. We'll just have to make do with what we do plant this year. Yep, gonna be hot for us too
So glad you are enjoying the use of the rain barrel. There is nothing quite as good for plants and rain water. Are you not crocheting any longer?.....or are you just clearing scrap yarn? I hope you continue to crochet
I so wish we could get the garden in. We have a frost warning for tonight and I am keeping my fingers crossed that it is the last one.
God bless.
Our rain barrels also got filled last week.
I couldn't access the LaTeDa post. No idea why not.
I am clearing out stash yarn, although I don't have anything on the hook, resting my wrists for a time.
