The weather has been so crazy that plants freeze and then swelter but we seem to be well into summer now, skipping spring altogether. I was so happy to see roses blooming, which were not normal...they had sort of deformed buds on them, that I went out and bought flowers.

I got three hanging baskets, two Hibiscus and a Mandavalya vine. Also petunias for a flower bed. Most of the flowers are red except for the hanging baskets of petunias. It gets too hot on the south for most things. I also have two 4.4 raised garden beds in the back and various containers. I got three tomato plants, all heavy and blooming and 6 okra plants. I also have 2 squash plants.
We can never find Okra in the summer and we love it, also summer squash is huge in the store and the baby squash is far better. If the weather Gods cooperate we might have nice veggies this summer.

I have the twins mowing weekly and that is a blessing.

I go for my cardiology work up on the l4th and Linda will
be here on the l6th. Although we talk almost every day, it will be such a pleasure to see her.

One of the salads we looked for every spring was wilted lettuce. I make it with spinach now but I was wondering, is it a southern thing or does everyone make it? It is our favorite salad.

The appliance Gods have frowned on me, I had to buy a new fridge and a new washing machine but the old refrigerator is going in the garage for beverages and food storage.
It is due to get repaired finally on the eleventh.
