MUGGY, SMOLDERING RAIN DAY.....

Muggy, sticky, AND rainy......that's 3 things about today. The rain pitchers are full. The cats like that.
Cordelia loves her greenhouse. But it is very hot in there today. She sits on her white plastic table and stares at me, looking rather hot. All that long fur.
 
But the greenhouse has gone crazy this year. I plante3d it with seed geraniums, rhodochiton in the hanging basket and the creepers are creeping so much that they have to be cut back periodically.
And Cordelia is in her steamy greenhouse. All that long fur.
 The rain started early in the morning, and plip plopped till the morning light. Then it down poured.
 Sometime in the night, the local racoons were by. Again. Knocking over the water pitchers. They drink from them and then push them over. Like a game.
And Cordelia drinks out of the watering can in the greenhouse.....and all I can think about is "wow, look how the geraniums grew!" I never thought they would do anything. Just cheap $1.65 a piece. A bit of fertilizer, and a lot of water and poof.....flowers.
                Loganberries.................................
 More geraniums......stuffed into the wheelbarrow. The past two years the garden has been a little iffy. Too wet. Too soggy. Too mouldy. Too dry. This year it seems to be making up for lost time......
