Daily Notes from a Very Very Dark and Wet MAINE...... Instant Decaf today......yeah!!!

 Nothing much happening here...watching the grass and weeds grow... in the RAIN

The squirrels got into the bucket holding the netting I use to protect my ornamentals in the Summer Planters.  I got several of the lower ones and son got the ones from top of the ornamental cherry. I even found some over past the driveway.....nesting materials???? I topped the bucket with a brick.  Make them work harder to get the netting..... 

An "Omega Block" weather pattern continues to dump rain on Maine.  Flooding is beginning to be a problem.  My Grass is getting rather tall and clumpy....some spots taller than others. No lawn care when the grass is sopping wet.  My Lawn Guy sent an email.  

I entertained myself by watching National Geographic - Tombs and Mummies.  Lots of sand.  No rain.

I lost track of DAYS and had to remind myself it's only Tuesday.  Seemed like Thursday.

I decorated my desk calendar with black polka dots.   Turned up the thermostat- get some heat in here. I pasted white polka dots on my mailbox- couldn't find white paint.....probably up in the Attic.

I tried for a few days to recall the name of the perennial that loves cement....has tiny white bell shaped flowers.  All my books went to Goodwill....I would like more of those little plants to go along the sidewalk in front of the porch.  As long as they are contained by the cement- they can't infest other spaces.  I am stuck on Lily of the Valley.  I need to look for an image.  I recall very clearly where they existed in the Perennial Yard... Back left corner.  Eventually they cover the entire area where planted.  Okay with me.

The older I get the less I care about controlling my landscape plants........so...that's it.
