  • Mood: hot

Tuesday Yardening

Today was too hot to go out during the day.

Evening, it cooled off some, and we went out to pick up grass. 

EDIT 6/13/17: I watered plants.

EDIT 6/13/17: I cut weeds out of the septic garden and put on more weed killer.

It's so dry around here that I'd rain dance if I knew how.

We went out and asked the land spirits to ask the sky spirits for rain. (I used to ask the sky spirits directly but the weather has been psychotic for years, so I switched.) Then we raised power and threw water in the air.

I'm worried. There's no way I can handle watering some two to three hours daily the way I did during our last big drought.

I'm not doing great either. :( I expect we'll lose some of the later things planted.
