More Island Work

 Another morning with patchy fog and then sunny.
It was 64 degrees and calm when I walked.
Sunrise 6:39
Walked 6 miles


Walked all around town, around the cemeteries and the ball park.
Didn't see anyone else out walking but I did see
Roger drive by in his new red truck.

All the bulls are gone and have been for the last few days.
I guess they have been sold.
I'm sure there will be more there again soon.

Very quiet around town.

A pretty Rose of Sharon bloom


Went outside this morning again and finished clearing the Island.
What a great feeling of accomplishment!!!

Ken went and harvested a bunch of rocks for me which I'll be using
to line a garden bed and a path in the Island.

Ken got the chipper going and we made a pile of chips
to put around the few plants that are already there.
 We still need a little more but will do that tomorrow.
After working we had our usual cool down on the porch.

Here's today picture of the progress.


We quit working at 2:30, a little early today.
Before supper I got a little reading done and work on the puzzle.

That's been my day.
Thanks for stopping by.
Count your blessings and have a happy day. 🙂

  2. The garden looks very nice, neat, and tidy. We have one more day of this current hot, muggy weather. I have plans for those cooler days.

  5. Love the Rose of Sharon! My grandmother had two of them, and I’ve always wished I had one. Need to add that to the list! I always forget at the time to find one to set it out. Our high temperature was in the low-nineties today; not doing work outside until it’s much cooler!

  7. I wondered if you might have a garden path. It’s already looking very nice. I love your foggy morning picture.

  8. The Rose of Sharon flower is quite amazing. I know that it is related to the Hibiscus but the bloom looks very different. My Hibiscus has trumpet shaped flowers, almost like a Lily.
