Garden is almost In! ~ Donations ~ No Rain

We've been busy, busy, busy, followed by majorly tired.  We had a good few days of planting - 103 tomatoes (3 varieties), 49 jalapeno plants, 3 hot banana pepper plants, 52 bell peppers ....squash, cucumbers, etc.  We are down to repairing the last two raised beds, filling them and planting and possibly tilling one small area of the garden for more squash.  I would like to plant more squash in the next few days. 

Daughter's interview went great.  She gets to tour the hair salon this month and they are opening (they haven't been open).

Donating to Goodwill has been a challenge.  We called ahead to make sure, but upon arrival there was no one to take the donations at the door (stay in car they come out and get it).  We called while at the donation door - nothing.  I'll be calling Easter Seals to see if they can do a house pick up for the next donations.

Hubby is out watering the flowers right now.  No rain even though they said it was 80% sure it would.  Next up is me.  I'm heading out to the big gardens and dragging around my 200 plus foot hose.  It's gonna be a hot one again today.  We still haven't put the downstairs AC in.  We've literally been too tired after the garden.  Crossing my fingers in goes in before the weekend is over.

We have been enjoying the lemon balm popsicles I made.  They really cool us off after the heat and sweat in the gardens.

No lilacs, apples or peaches this year ~ Last Graduation Ceremony

While out gardening yesterday we realized the last freeze/frost killed a lot of blossoms.  No lilacs this year, nor apples or peaches sadly.

Daughter had her second graduation yesterday, so gardening was a short day for us.  It was a drive thru and went way faster and much easier than the walk in one.  It was for her career school.

They even let us get out of the truck to film and take photos, and they had a microphone to announce the names and they clapped.  So much better than her hometown school.

It's official now.  She is the last of 6 kids to graduate.  Not sure how I feel, but glad I don't have kids in school after this virus mess.

The sky looks like rain this morning, but nothing is coming down yet.  I'm praying for rain so I don't have to go drag 100 feet of hose out to the garden today.  We need the rain badly, so we can do the last of the tilling and the very last of the planting.  Not much left to plant, but we need it in the ground ASAP.
