Well that didn’t go as I had planned :-)

So my plan was to do nothing today besides taking walks with the dogs. So of course I’ve now mowed the lawn πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ The reason I did that was because we now are going to fill the holes in the gravel road tomorrow. We will thankfully be several people doing it (me and my neighbors, we’re only doing our little gravel road) and we don’t have that many holes but the ones we have are big and deep. It’s a job that needs to be done even though it’s heavy and boring.

Nova decided that we should walk in the forest this morning. We were out later than usual because I actually slept an hour and a half longer than normal, so it was warm enough for the flies to become active. No biting ones thankfully, just the annoying forest flies and it looks like the drought has done its job to stop the mosquitoes to become more, there’s not a single puddle anywhere and the water level in the creeks ar low or not at all. There was lots of biting flies in my garden when I mowed though.

I put all the mowed grass in my vegetable garden in between plants or along them. I might have buried some because the flies, even though I also wore a mosquito hat, were driving me crazy. Plus it has been really hot today and that didn’t help at all. It’s only the weekend that will be hot and sunny, the coming week will be cooler and they’re guessing we’ll get lots of rain as well. I don’t mind the rain, I have vacation and can sleep all day to avoid it πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

When the rain comes the grass will both stop the water from evaporatiung and at the same time fertilize the ground while it slowly decays.

My new neighbors. They were the ones bringing the biting flies I’m afraid.

  1. Filling in gravel pot holes on a hot day is my idea of torture.
    I mowed my lawn this morning. The lawn mower had a tough time going through the wet grass. I had to stop several times to remove the grass pureΓ© from underneath. When I was done, I stood under the mister of the hose. It was a great way to cool down and I could fill the bird water bowl at the same time. The phone did alert that it had moisture in the charging port but it’s okay now.
    Cooler weather sounds wonderful even with rain.

    1. Hi Caryn!

      Thankfully we’ll do it before noon and thankfully there aren’t too many holes during those 200 yards we’ll fill but I do agree with You πŸ™‚

      It worked well to mow in my garden but the pieces I have to mow outside were just like that, Stop every two seconds to dig out green mush πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚
      I don’t know how many times I showered yesterday and I’m pretty sure it’ll be much the same today πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

      Have a great day!
