Doggonit, it didn't rain today. Stayed cloudy half the day, then the sun came out. What a disappointment, not only did I want rain for the garden, I wanted to come in and sit on my behind and do some drawings and get the papers filled out for my permits.

Well, it didn't rain so I transplanted some wild flowers from by the road up to my native flower bed. Watered, trimmed and pruned some things needing attention and kept coming back in here to pick out some more stuff in the co-ops.

Darius had given me a pack of Messenger so I took it and used it around on my roses and some other things until the gallon ran out. I missed that coop. It was opened and closed so fast. I was sneezing and missed it.

Did I show you what I was going to build on the front of my house? I call it the orchid house, even tho I only have 3 orchids. It will actually be my front porch area, but on the ground. I will be putting plastic panels on the roof for protection from rain, part opaque, part transparent. In the winter time I can roll plastic down to let this serve as my greenhouse. Being right by the house, on the south side, with the earth not floored in, we should be able to retain some natural heat in there for plants and to warm the house as well. Tonight I should get the paperwork ready, get the permit applied for and supplies ordered by early next week.
