At my age, I do much better in warm and even hot weather. There is an issue with stiff joints and sore muscles. I am much more limber in heat, can lift more, and do more, in greater comfort. Heat and humidity, though, is quite another thing. Fortunately, we don't have that around here. Makes a huge difference!
But it still isn't warm enough for my taste, and it's a little too windy, but for the time of year, not bad at all. Again, lots done yesterday and today.
That norther wasn't much and I'm pleased. It never got below freezing and by noon I'm sure we'll be drenched in sunshine and next week looks quite good, although I don't really have much to do outside, I'll think of something. Dotting and crossing, so to speak. I'm pretty sure I'll give Lantana a try. My problem is that I overwater. That's what happened to the trumpet vine I planted a few years ago. I drowned it. Well, I don't be making that mistake again. Potato vine is something I would like to look into. I sure would like to find some bindweed. That would be ideal in many places, where fallen sunflower stalks have created a natural trellis.
That was to be expected, but it isn't that cold. Just rather windy and uncomfortable. As usual, many things accomplished yesterday. Satisfactory.
It feels good. A bit of a freeze on the way but I hope it won't be cold enough long enough to damage vegetation. Probably not. Most of the "landscaping" is done. I might think of a few things to do later. I'd like to refinish some outdoor furniture. I could do that today! It would be a good project for a cloudy day. I could work in the garage. Gosh knows, I've got plenty of stains to apply. I buy that stuff at estate sales. I've got all kinds of useful things purchased at estate sales and garage sales years ago. I need to use some of it.
