The hummingbirds are buzzing and chirping around the back porch feeders, the chipmunks/squirrels are everywhere, the 5 Wren babies left the nest, Pileated Woodpecker pecking my landscape logs to pulp, crows chasing hawks, and the hawks are hunting.
My sister and have been moving around Linton Roses, planting 9 new purple/green hydrangea (Mathilda Gutges) on sale from $35 to $9.99 at HD, and giving away a wheelbarrow full of stray hosta, popping up everywhere.......chopping down old, very dead, very large azalea bushes from the overgrown side yard.
As I write this, DD24 is going through new and old art supplies.....handmade papers, maps, paints, charcoal and pencils.......while humming CCR and wearing an oversized men's shirt. She laughed.....bc she and her sister agreed..... they've turned into their mother.
JoAnn's is closing, so they've made a buying trip, at 80% off, and come back with supplies, including some fixtures. The intention to turn DD24'S bedroom into an art room has begun. They want to cover a wall in pegboard...... there's two, already full closets. Mostly fabrics and finished costumes.
DD24 shows off some of her new, very lovely, decorative papers. I imagine the treasures and found nature objects she'll layer and build on....DD replies...."exactly."
Back to the yard.....we worked in two days of rain......love to work in the drizzle. Moving plants, in the rock beds, means moving lots of river rock.
I have more hydrangeas to place and plant. The purple/green flowers are glorious next to the Hemlocks, with their new growth greens.
Everything is lush and happy in the rain. I'm going to take a Methacarbinal and put on wet gear. I wear fly fishing shoes, which work well.
Will sort and carry away most of the things sitting around....broken granite....some beams I wanted to turn into lighting fixtures, etc. It's just time to get rid of stuff......the garage, in particular needs a good edit.
I'm struggling with it, but once I'm in that mode.....things GO!
