Summer has arrived.

Well we wanted it and we waited months for it...so it is finally here. SUMMER...it was 60 degrees and rainy yesterday and today is near 90 and humid...and boy are we HOT.

We all were out early this morning to get some things done before it got too hot to move...I moved some accidental sunflowers and I hope they will come back after they adjust to the move. They look very wilty right now but I am sure with some water and time they will come back...Logan helped me fill some of the tires with dirt and manure. Logan helped me plant some yellow boys, grape and big boys in the tires. I bought a few six plants of tomatoes since I am still waiting for my babies that I started to be big enough to go outside. I think a week in the hot box my husband built will do it. I also bought a tomato plant with tomatoes already on it so that I can harvest sooner and have toms all summer long. We planted that one in a large patio pot in the driveway.

It was also time to mow the lawn. We didn't mow last week and it was getting quite long. It took 2 hours because I had to keep stopping to rest. When it got hot it got hard to move. My husband got the weed waker out and came behind me and cleaned up around the mint and the weeds.

We walked around the yard a bit ago and found that one iris opened and I have posted pics.

Well it is hot and I need to get the fans out and cool us off. I think we will need to be putting the AC in the window upstairs in our bedroom.

Everyone have a great day!

I can feel your heat all the way here! Your iris is a delight, and your grounds look so fresh and green. Good luck with your new plants!

Everything looks so lush and green!! I don't know that I could work in the heat for very long though as I burn so easily. Picking tomatoes off your own plant is so much nicer (and tastier) than buying them from a shop. Your iris is lovely btw!
