early this week the garden was aerated with a huge machine…

watching the young man muscle it around the space made it clear how big and heavy the machine was…

a few days later, after watering the grass to soften it, clover and grass seed was scattered…

then the spots that weren’t doing well were raked and levelled out…

the new rake worked beautifully… the old one had separated quite a while ago, but it was likely thirty or forty years old, lol…

since then the grass has been watered daily to encourage the seed to take…

all of the cushions are put away before the watering begins…

it is a process, as the sprinkler has to be moved five or six times to ensure every bit gets a good soaking;-)…

fingers crossed that it does better this year than it did last year…

had a very relaxing day…

slept in a bit… for me, lol… put out the cushions, watered the garden and had breakfast by the pond…

enjoyed all the flowers on the mandevilla and spent time with my book…

while I was reading, I looked up to see this…

the little bunny that I’ve spotted a number of times, but not been able to get a picture of… today it sat by the chair and enjoyed some greens while I took pictures…

when it got too hot to stay outside I came into the house and watched sports on tv and napped…

so sluggish that I ordered my groceries to be delivered tomorrow… really the height of laziness…

watered the garden this morning before leaving the house…

the plants are all quite happy and there are many flowers…

woke up with a headache which progressed throughout the morning and by lunchtime it was raging…

so bad, in fact, that I took pills and lay on the floor in our meeting room with lights out and blinds closed…

thankfully, eventually the headache dulled and I made it through the rest of the day…

quiet dinner and early to bed tonight…

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…

dragonfly, garden hose, moon, nature, watered

this morning I ran around the garden watering all the baskets and plants… I could not believe that they were thirsty, but they were…

I am loving the new hose… works beautifully, isn’t heavy and doesn’t kink…

sadly it won’t work with the water barrel… clearly not enough pressure, so I will still do some hand watering when there is time… the plants really like the rain water best…

when I arrived home and walked into the garden from the garage, a very large dragonfly flew up and landed on my purse… stayed there while I pulled out my phone and opened the camera… then it flew away before I could get a picture…

just looked out the window a few minutes ago and saw this lovely moon…

20140710-220402-79442923.jpgwill be completely full on Saturday…

been a day filled with the wonderful nature around me…
