I conked out this afternoon. I was getting Charlie Horses in both legs. I have been drinking tons of water, but perhaps not enough. It got to 84 today.

Victor, Yikes, 99. No thanks Hope you spent some of the day in the pool.

I did cut off some ugly brown dead branches off the rug junipers and cleaned up more spring bulb foliage that has finally gone by. I then dead headed a spirea BEFORE it bloomed. I hate the pink flowers with the lovely chartreuse leaves. Sinful. I found one that supposedly has white flowers with the same leaf color. I planted a small one and will swap it if it proves to be so. I do hope it is a good one. Here is the gal that got a pre-bloom shave today. Spiraea japonica Goldmound. She is well behaved here, no seedlings. But to me, a most disagreeable flower color in combination to the leaf. Patti
