Hmmmm
Well today Bradley would have been returning from his trip to California. Unfortunately as I’ve posted before this trip was cancelled by the people he was to go visit. I’m still a bit peeved about this whole situation. Never mind that the plane tickets could not be refunded so my parents are out the nearly $500.00 it cost to get them, it’s more that Bradley was so looking forward to the trip itself and meeting someone he considers a good friend. I’m not really sure when I’ll be able to let this one go.
Seems like it has been a long week. Haven’t really done anything much. Nothing out of the everyday ordinary anyways.
It’s been raining the past couple of days in the evening time anyway, and that is helping the gardens out a bit. The Joseph’s Coat rose has blooms all over it. The Golden Showers is getting ready to have a couple of blooms and my Don Juan has blooms despite the fact that it got hacked by some unknown person or persons.
The Heirloom and Peace roses had some type of infestation or disease or something that I’m not sure what it is. The blooms take forever to open and when they do they have a brown dry edge to them. Not a pretty sight. Looking it up online it said that it was thrips from my description. I got some spray to spray on them and have done it twice. I’ll be respraying this weekend as it said on the bottle to do it every 5 to 7 days. I am just cutting the blooms off that look bad as soon as they even give the hint that they are dying. I’m hoping the new buds are not affected by the thrips if indeed that is what is causing them to look so bad.
The vegetables are growing by leaps and bounds. We planted most of the vegetables from seed except for the savoy cabbage. It pleases me more than anything to see them growing as I feel that we did that ourselves.
My hibiscus finally bloomed out and its gorgeous.
I’m tired today and don’t feel like doing much of anything. Brad wanted to go to JC to the book store but has since changed his mind. I wasn’t much up for going anyway.
That’s all for now
