this morning I watered the baskets in the front flower bed by hand…

I could have used the hose but decided to use a jug and walk back and forth from the kitchen sink…

purpose was twofold… be sure each planter got enough water… and get some steps in…

then I watered a few plants on the deck, adding some leftover milk, which, according to the internet, provides additional nutrients and means I don’t have to toss out the sour milk…

once that was done, I spent about fifteen minutes in the garden enjoying the peace and soaking up the sound of the waterfall…

the datura looked lovely as I sat in the lounger… a special moment…
