Good Morning!!

I noticed too that the brugs don't smell much this year either. Thought it was just me. We had about 10 buds on Maya, but there are only 3 that made it. They are twanging and we might have then open in a day or two. The rest dropped off in the heat. I watered this morning for an hour, but my rain barrels are getting low. Even the established shrubs and azaleas are looking bad. The only thing I have that looks good are caladiums, and I figured you all would get bored with the same pictures. :))

Question for you all. We bought one of those K-cup coffee machines a month ago. Kind of a luxury, but boy is the coffee good. Anyway, it has been bothering me that I throw those little cups away en masse every week, so this morning I opened one and took the guts out of it. What you end up with is a nice little plastic cup a little smaller than a dixie cup size with a drainage hole already punched in the bottom. Any of you that start seeds I think they would work for that. If you want to try some, let me know and I'll start saving them. They all stack together and are light and take up no space. I'd love to find a use for them.

Oh well, off to the races. Have a cut pic of what's blooming in my house. :)) Heard a rustling in my office the other day and I knew the kitten had come in, but I couldn't find him. Finally he stuck his head up.
