Work continues as the Virus has a Resurgence

Perhaps resurgence is not the correct word. It seems to imply at one point the virus had disappeared, but, of course that is not the case. States across the country started their re-openings some seemly with little planing, 38 states have increases in reported cases. Hospitals in Houston and Miami are filling up. Florida is setting records in cases reported daily. Our state doing better than most has paused its phase 3 re-openings.

All this while the leader deflects and divides. His strategy apparently is to ignore reality and brandish proudly a mask-less face.

The work

The lawn filling in for the butterfly garden.
The flower beds filling out.
The planters doing well.
Echinacea, Zinnias, Gladiolus, Coreopsis, Dahlias, Black eye susans and Heliotrope.
Clearing out the old playhouse
The old playhouse overgrown with bittersweet.
I don’t think the kids ever played in it. Always looked look an old falling down log cabin.
Zinnias

For the house.
July 4th Firefly Works
Fireflies in front of the old rose garden.
And then there is the Rose Garden
Yes, again, there is an arbor and picket fence in there.
The vegetable garden
  • Beans
  • Summer Squash
  • Cherry Tomatoes
  • Dill
The Peppers and Beans were suffering from mineral deficiencies. Maybe, the inability to draw magnesium from the soil. Epsom salts and seaweed foliage feed seem to be helping.

Catbird’s nest? They always seem to find a ribbon to decorate with.
