This morning I moved two carts of rocks. Still feeling the effects of a few days of "under the weather", it was enough to make me light headed. Then went and deadheaded the yellow tea roses, found this shy yellow beauty on the old plant, and caught morning light on the salmon cluster. Loving the pops of color!

@gingerw Wow, what a great sight for first thing in the morning!

Lovely colors, gingerw. Be careful with those rocks, friend! A neighbor wanted to re-landscape his front corner side area and asked if I could use any of the wonderful river rocks. Immediate yes! and a bazillion trips back and forth later, I'd filled one street bed between my driveway and next to a neighbor's flowerbed with the rocks. The neighbor just wouldn't "tame" the Bermuda grass in his bed which became "my" nightmare so I dug out my bed and filled it with rocks. Then centered a large decorative pot on top of the rocks and change out the plants seasonally. The following fall, I had a stroke and my next door neighbor still thinks my stroke was a result of hauling and then washing all of those tons of rocks! Mine was a summer project too so be careful and stop if you're feeling under the weather. We Need to keep you hale and hearty for the benefit of all! Smiles

@gingerw You have been one busy gal! Enjoyed seeing the progress of your rock pile. Hard to beat that morning light and no matter how good the photo still nothing like the real thing. My day lilies burst forth on the 4th and the mixed pots have done their thing. Will attach photos. Be careful with those Herculean endeavors. Sorry, being repetitive.
@jimhd Looking forward to images from you as well. Beware that coveting. 🙂
To all of the other lovers of playing in the dirt and muscle building-nice to know I have had company although I now work on a much smaller scale. Sad that so few see the splendor in the dirt.
