BEAUTIFUL MORNING PONDITES!!!
90's????? The horror!!!! It hit the low 70's here yesterday and I nearly barbecued finishing the veggie planting. Only salvation was the constant cooling 35+ mph winds that were often blowing in just the right direction to totally void any protection from our woods (aka directly up our dirt road, picking up a lot of the fine sandy soil from the potato fields to our south along the way, with particularly strong gusts turning the air the color of freshly tanned leather that you could literally taste). My poor little plants took quite a beating but all look happily upright this morning.
Feeling a bit sore this morning (and "the warden" has already asked what I plan on doing). It's supposed to be even hotter with less wind so today it's just some poop scooping from the coop this morning, the few remaining plants into the garden and getting my cooking herbs nestled into the planter that my warden mounted on the back porch railing for me yesterday.
Then, I think I'm going to give the body a break, curl up in that LazyBoy on the back porch with the book I've been trying to finish forever, watch those amazing little hummingbirds come to feeders and flowerpots I've hung up just for them and listen to my chooks purr and chitter happily as they sunbathe on the steps, which they do every time they know I'm on the porch, secure in the knowledge I'm there to protect them and likely in anticipation of the treat that will sooner or later come flying over the gate. They have me so well trained.

Hate it when things like that gum up the works.
