80F with light rain @ 13:00, WU calling for a high of 81F for the day.
Had some rain come through earlier in the wee hours, dropped 0.32". Still calling for potentially severe storms this afternoon.
Maybe if we get a decent amount I'll be able to aerate the lawn.
Flood Advisory in effect and a Tornado Watch has just been issued.
Got the entire front mowed yesterday, which confirmed how dry it was ... ground was hard as a rock ... a very bumpy ride.
Swapped out the old bag which was full on the Japanese Beetle trap out front for a new one after that.
Got rebar for the tube feeders driven in, in the new location and the the pole and feeders put back up. Also scattered some seed for the ground feeders.
Grabbed the five herb plants and a volunteer tomato from the shelves around back and brought them up front. Woman has decided She will grow the herbs in pots.
So I mixed up another batch of potting mix and got to planting the herbs and the tomato. Woman worked on planting some caladiums.
We blew through the potting mix pretty quickly so I had to make a second batch.
Did some clean up in the garage and collected up some items that needed to go up to the shop, along with the compostables.
Took those and dropped them off and then went over to the compost pile and dropped off the compostables.
Woman wanted to get the peppers tied to the stakes due to the predicted storms so we headed around back and I worked on securing several tomato cages with staples while She did that.
Collected up the now thoroughly-cleaned hopper feeder on my way back up front.
Then more clean up and organizing in the garage.
Broke for dinner, finished up the Chinese which was even better the second day.
Final item was running the Cub over to barn and putting it away.
Agenda for the rest of the day:
Dole out another weeks worth of meds.
Get that Australian Timber Oil applied to the now-clean hopper feeder.
Cut and point more bamboo stakes for the peppers.
Some additional clean up and organizing in the garage.
Possibly spend some time up in the shop needle-scaling t posts.
Plus whatever else comes up.
Hope everyone is having a decent Saturday ...
