I did something I've put off for a long time, and it was as tedious as I expected it to be, but success. This had a lot to do with security issues. In the process I discovered that I am in better shape than I thought. Today I'd just like to do more work outside, whatever I can think of, and enjoy our rather fine weather. Yesterday I had too much time in front of the computer.
It is supposed to be quite windy today, as well as quite warm. Rain is becoming elusive again, so I must water. This is Spring Break, I think. It means nothing to me. I have thought of some finishing touches I could apply to my landscaping efforts. I might take care of that today, although there is certainly no hurry. It is rather cloudy, but there is no rain in prospect.
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.
