A rainy Saturday is in store for today. Much of this week was hot, humid and sunny and the garden is really making a show. I've noticed that when people walk by they slow down to look at the garden (I'm so modest). The irises are all in bloom now and the peonies are beginning to open as well. Of course the weeds are doing well. The crab grass and some other broad four leaf (not clover, I will have to do some research into what it is exactly) ground covering are making their presence know in both the lawn and the garden. I will have my work cut out for me when the weather clears. At least I don't have to drag the hose and sprinkler all over the yard in an attempt to water the lawn. We opened the pool last weekend and the rainfall will help to bring the water level up.
Otherwise, I will be indoors today catching up on my chores and there are plenty of those to keep me busy. It is also the opportunity to catch up on my reading. I have just finished Lynne Truss' (of punctuation fame Eats, Shoots & Leaves) With one Lousy Free Packet of Seed. Unlike her other works that I have read, this is a fictional story about the adventures of the staff of a failing gardening magazine titled "Come Into the Garden." It is a classic farce with the characters all interconnected somehow without their realizing it. Of course like all good farces it comes to a climax and all is sorted out (sort of, well mostly).
