Our cool front has arrived and it is delightful! Of course that means a lot of dew so I won't be working outside until much later in the day.
I did my early morning walkabout and snapped some pictures that caught my eye.
First, the shrub border that isn't!
This was a clean-sweep by the yard crew of two. I did leave a couple of young lilacs and the Golden Vicaryi (hidden behind the weigela at the corner of the drive.
They are taking today off but will be here tomorrow morning to paint the garage roof. I am also having them remove , including the blackberry patch, the jungle growing behind the garage.
The retired gentleman likes to work about 20 hours a week and his grandson is available now and then. I can't keep him busy that much but it will be great to have someone I can call for various things.
Farm
We now have 10 acres baled and about 25 cut. I think they are raking now but I haven't been out to check. DH is going back shortly to see where they are.
We are very dry again but, selfishly, are hoping for dry until our hay is finished.
Random Pictures from morning walk
I almost missed seeing this one. It is ready to harvest.
I am surprised by the phlox doing so well as hot and dry as it has been. I think I have watered this bed a couple of times.
I thought my Tiger Lilies had died out but I have two clumps. This is across the drive from the phlox bed.
