A good day at The Acres today. It began with the highlight: on my early morning walk, I discovered a Japanese iris blooming in the wild area. Tricky Gardening Angels. I can only assume that sometime in the past--I have no memory of it--I must have tried to get one started out there. It's not like they're indigenous to Ohio--or that some creature would move it out there--but there it was! Gorgeous! (See this Saturday's slide show.) Yeh, I did a little dance in the pathway. Didn't pull too many muscles. Don't have too many.
Other Acres' stuff accomplished today: Got the foundations stones laid for three new gardens--two of them are really small. Tomorrow if I get an early start, I should be able to get them filled. No mulching done yet, though. Yuk. The lilies around the beds are crying out for help. (Not really, they just bloom no matter what--I'm the one that wants to give some room.) Also, got the "killing" done in a huge bed I need to re-do in late July. Got a couple small ones to re-do as well. And maybe another big one. If I live to be a hundred, I may get most everything done. I take great joy in the little steps along the way.
Non-Acre stuff today: grocery store, re-cycling place, Pizza Hut buffet, laundry, and reading. And it's only 6:30! I hope my old body will work tomorrow.
Supper--I think I'm hungry for a little indigestion--White Castle here I come. (Some day we have to get a Hardy's up here!)And, oh, the last iris bloomed. Lovely little lilac thing--smells wonderful, too. Yep, good day The Acres. But then again, aren't they all. Thank you, Lord, for gifts to bless our old age.
