Here in the Ozarks, we are finally drying out some before the next rounds of rain. It's been raining here each and everyday of August, some more than others but Missouri is in flood mode, it's unreal! I'm thankful we live on a hill, even if the driveways are falling into the street, we are high and dry! The city rain gauge tells us that we've gotten just over 15 inches so far, for this month, we did get more than our share in July. When it rains, it really can pour!!! But, I'm very thankful, as long as the septic holds, I'm fine with it!
In between storms, I'm trying to keep up with the mints and weeds! Remember that mint bed I planted a few months ago well....it's one big mess but I'm harvesting it as often as I can and hanging some, the rest gets tossed into the chicken coop, they enjoy it as much as I do! If for nothing else, I'll always have mint for the chicken coop!
The old wheelbarrow above has been with us for about 20 years now, the bottom rusted through in spots, I tried planting petunias in it, they did fine till it got hot and no amount of water keep them happy, so I saved them by transplanting them in a more happy place, then I got to looking at the wheelbarrow in a different light and now I have a extra shelf for a bucket of plants! Doesn't take much to keep me happy, rain in August has me over the moon, and I finally got a decent shot of the super moon last month! Happy August!
We are dry and cooler but all the previous rain produced lots of weeds and overgrown plants...have not gotten to any of it with work...love what you did the wheelbarrow.
ReplyDeleteGirl, I'm looking out the window right now and it's clouding up again... lol I'm right with ya but you've gotten more rain than even us... I'm sure of it. Isn't it crazy how last year we had such a drought... there was not a blade of grass in our pasture. Now... grass up to the horses bellys. I'm glad you wrote about your mint bed and getting weedy. Makes me feel better! ha Could it be time we just make peace with the weeds and carry on? lol It's so steamy hot here I just wanna croak when I start mowin even. haha Must be craft time too.
ReplyDeleteLove your wheelbarrow and it looks darling standing on it's end like that and made into a shelf! Look like Mr. Sweet Tater vine LOVES his new home?!!! As usual beeeautiful and I ADORE your moon picture! It is GRAND!
Fall like weather was the report on my weather station in Michigan today...yay. :) Your wheelbarrow looks great as a shelf and awesome next to the building.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the septic and the rain. It has certainly crossed my mind with all the rain we're getting. Yikes! :) Oh and the weeds.....I've decided I will probably not be keeping up with them this year. I just had to accept it. :)
