I'm finally getting edges done, weeding and putting down newspaper as I go. Thanks, wha, for the tip on a good tool, it's been a great improvement on what I was doing before. It's very dry here, all the rain missed us yesterday. I heard distant thunder and the sky was dark, then the sun came out. On the radar, it looked as if the clouds went around us... I guess we're just that little bit higher, the clouds must have been below us.

So today I have to set up the tower yet again, and water the areas that aren't on the system. It's been about two weeks since our last good shower. I'm not worried about the long-established shrubs, etc, but there's lots of other smaller stuff around that will appreciate a good drink, especially since its been soooooo hot. At least the temp sems to be ore reasonable, this morning actually feels cool! :-)

Pics from this weekend. Question: Now that the daylilies are in full bloom, does the cairn look too short? Is it too 'regular,' should it be a mix of more shapes, not just flat, round, flat, round...? Those were my first thoughts, now I find I'm getting used to it. ..
