Rain seems to be holding off until tomorrow and today is quite warm. I trimmed around the back yard and pulled more of the weeds I got last week that I don't want going to seed. A bunch of potted plants were watered and one that I was sure was dead has a new tree sprouting from the roots, so I'll nurse that along and plant it when it's large enough to not get lost in the tall grass. Maybe next year. I have a couple of trees I have to give away before they dry up in the pots. I'll mow tomorrow but I'm going to put out some ant bait today and see if it will reduce the large number of fire ants in one spot they've inhabited for way too long. Over the years I've gotten lots of ant bites, but these are particularly painful and bring up a large blister.

Cucumbers and okra are coming along on the potting bench and there are sweet potato slips I'll plant once I've finished this and my cup of tea (this is a cool-down session). I dug out a photo of the flower on a plant given me, dropped it into Google lens to ID, and will get it planted now that I know how large and how much attention and such.

The kitchen is now more inviting with the tall table and the peninsula cleared of a lot of stuff that needed recycling or filing. More things are going into the bags for art teachers.

How are you feeling today, Charmion? Dorothy hasn't been on FB since May 15. Must check up on her.
