It might have been a mixed bag of cloud, strong breezes, sunny spells and a distinctly fresher feel to temperatures today, but needless to say, I spent the afternoon [as I did yesterday, watering and pottering] out in the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers - I dug out, investigated and re-potted some fuchsias whose leaves had been chewed by the dreaded vine weevils [I squished three adults, but thankfully, after washing their roots, found no grubs; they're lethal to fibrous-rooted plants], and potted up a load of ipomoea seedlings that had been languishing in tiny pods for far too long. That was quite enough for today.
With the forecast being for declining temperatures and possibly some rain in the week ahead, let us instead wallow in the lives of impossibly glamorous people, cavorting in exotic [well, Miami, anyhow] and sunny climes, shall we? - courtesy of the simply faboo Soft Tempo Lounge:
Ah, that's better.

Thank you for STL!!! It still feels very warm here, despite the drizzle, odd.

In this country, it's not the heat but the humidity that gets me! Jx
DeleteIt’s supposed to reach 40-ish again today, but it’s only 25 right now and dropping to only 35-ish Saturday. I’d be happy puttering in your extensive gardens.
ReplyDelete40-ish is a bit brutal - that's the sort of temperatures we experienced when we went to Luxor in Egypt! Jx
DeleteHow lovely. all of that and a bit of Shirley Jones and Mel Tormé in the evening; Marvellous.
ReplyDeleteImagine going to the seaside and having either of those two as the evening's entertainment? Over here, you'd be lucky to get Showaddywaddy. Jx
