I'm outta gas..
2:30pm - ok, a little bead offering on this sunny Spring day...
Almost 2:00 - we did finish planting everything today, about 12:30 we were done...We've had lunch, Brian is taking a nap and I'm getting BEADS ready...3 strands..there's a story to them, I'll 'splain in the write up...out to take pics, etc..look for them in about 30 min or so..2:30 CST i guess...back in a bit...
Who went to bed at 8:00 last night? Raise your hands...I woke up at 5:15, but then fell back to sleep...I think I slept nearly 12 hours...today, were taking it a lot easier...hopefully we'll be done by noon...
unfortunately summer has hit this week, it was 91 yesterday and 93 the day before...its hot...we have sunburns and are tired...So today, we're putting in the last of my roses, these have been with me since December and I coudln't find a good place for them...so we're putting them in where the blackberries were...except we're ammending the soil a LOT this morning, and roses can take pretty evil soil conditions, so I have confidence that as long as they get water, they'll be ok...
my blackberries died last year when i went to Bead and Button and the other person who lives in this house, but shall not be named, failed to water them at all...in June..when its hot..and they need water...so, I might hire someone to come water the roses this year when I go to B&B this year, so I don't lose them...bah..
Most all the succulents are in their new pots, but I ran out of pots, so I need more...and I'm not in the mood to spend money or enter a nursery at all...I'm ready to clean some beads and make some new ones...I'm tired...can you tell?
We bought some wire fencing and planted two new trumpet vines and stapled the fencing to our privacy fence, and Brian tied up all the vines...they look great...I planted more garlic for the roses in the back, and bronze fennel in the front for the butterflies that are hatching and looking for food and places to hide...anyway, yes, there will be beads today, no I don't plan on going to bed at 8:00 tonight, and I'll be back after these last roses go in...I turned the soil last night, Brian is turning it deeper (we are our own roto-tillers) and next is the turkey compost and rose food...back after i've sweated my breakfast off...woo...
