Rex and Jose are my helpers, quite willing to assist me in
digging,(in all the wrong places) but even so I am getting
a lot done outside. I wear out in a couple of hours but
slow and steady is the way I have to go.

The back porch is looking great with some new cushions and
hydrangeas, impatiens and ferns. It is easy because the
shade plants are easier for me to grow. The front isn't
quite finished. I need one more hibiscus and one more
hanging planter. I planted gerbera daises in my hanging
baskets, some petunias and one hibiscus. All of them are
red this year

Adrienne is getting an award at O.U. today. I don't know what for because Ellie couldn't remember. I sent her
birthday present by her Mom because she wants a game. I
don't have a clue as to what to pick out. Money always
fits and my grand children refer to birthday money instead of birthday presents.

I planted parsley, cilantro and sage today, only to find
that my sage from last year is peeping through the leaves. I will need to find some rosemary. We love
rosemary chicken. This year I might get smart and pot
my herbs in the fall.
