I stopped by the Wal-Mart on my folks side of town this morning on my way over to their house to pick up something for dad and a few non-perishable things for us.
Earlier in the week I had Lowe’s deliver 12 bales of pine needles to the folks house. This morning I trimmed back the new growth on the bushes I trimmed back in May in the front and along the side of the house then spread the needles.I trimmed the azaleas by the shed and put a bail of needles there. All that took about two hours. Although the temperatures were in the low 80’s the humidity was pretty high. I had taken an extra dry shirt which I changed into at noon when I went in to the house for lunch. I hate sitting around in a soaking wet shirt.
Last night’s storm dumped close to an inch of rain before all was said and done. This morning it rained again but not for long. More storms this afternoon and tonight. We really need the rain.
