With the temperature in the low 80's and a slight breeze blowing to cool you down in the shade, it is just so inviting to be outside. Carolyn took advantage of the good weather to work on some of her flower beds around the yard. Here she was working on re-placing the yellow rose bush over the arbor when she got a chance to talk with our neighbor behind our yard. We don't ofter see her, so it was a nice opportunity. Carolyn is just so happy to be able to work outside for hours. Only 4 months ago she didn't have the strength or breath to do that.
We also took advantage of the weather to begin work on a new sprinkler line in the back. We have "decommissioned" the sprinklers that were spraying toward the house and possibly caused some of the dry rot damage that we repaired a couple of months ago. We're now in the process of replacing them with a string that will spray towards the back fence. Unfortunately, the ground for the new sprinklers is 50% pebbles that are about an inch in diameter and very difficult to dig through. Once again, we found the people who had installed the sprinkler system hadn't used glue on the sprinkler side of the system. Minor detail.
Here are some examples of the flowers in our garden. We have a deep purple iris that is almost black when it begins to flower.
And a pretty pink flower that somebody gave us as bulbs. It seems to grow well here but we have no idea what it is. Can anybody give us a hint?
