I finally got the back steps sealed last weekend, before this front came over us. The "transparent" sealer does look good when freshly done. I hope the color sticks better the more I reseal every year. Tiger lilies are blooming and the alium are going to seed.
The two sunflowers are still doing well. They've almost outgrown the cage but I'm not going to remove it until I have to or they get much bigger. I also added a stake in the ground to the left, in case support is needed later this summer.
And all sorts of things are growing in the tree stump area, some unknown wildflowers seem to be doing well but no blooms yet. I moved the solar lights to this area from the back, but not sure it will make a difference. I'm noticing these six turn on much earlier than sunset, so don't have much battery left after dark. I believe they are on in this picture. I don't think I can do anything to fix that.
It's a good time of year, just too wet recently for firepits. Otherwise, life goes on as usual, so no news is good news, I guess. Work is good, and there is so much less stress in this job. I baked more baguette this morning and prepared two rolls of cheese pennies this afternoon, so I'm still baking but just the same things over and over for now. And less than a month until street reconstruction starts. Yay.
I do have to call and cancel cable internet sometime this week. Wish me luck.
