Great Weekend
Saturday was plant hunt day. Drove to Denton to see their Redbud Festival searching for an Eve's Necklace tree but they were all gone. It must have opened early as I was there about 15 minutes before opening time and it was already crowded and people lined up with plants. Nice festival though, bought a few native plants and some pretty glass garden ornaments.
Also ran over to Dad's to help him with his new microwave - he is so impatient and was mad because it didn't work the same as the one he had for 10 years before it broke. He's having trouble getting around and his rememberer is starting to fail.
Sunday was work in the back yard. Used the chain saw ( it's electric and qualifies as light gardening right?) to remove a dying double Rose of Sharon. Sure hated to get rid of it but it was time for it to go. Removed some of the spreading flowers underneath it. The ground was really really dry - more so than the rest of the yard. Ran the sprinkler for the first time yesterday so I was surprised. The sprinkler is running again today since the the ground all around the house has cracks from being dry.
Cleaned the patio and furniture again - the pollen is really heavy this year and is lasting for-ever! I let the kitties come out for a bit (after the chain saw was put up and stored). They actually came out twice but didn't stay long the second time as there was a dog fight next door and it spooked them. They were still as stone during the fight and ran to the back door as soon as it was over - we couldn't see it of course.
