I worked outside in the rain for two days (thanks, Patricia!) to get ready for a garden tour I am on–moving plants, planting new ones (including this kalanchoe,) trimming dead growth and leaves and even spreading lava rock in beds. During one day of constant rain, I changed my clothes and blow-dried my hair 3 times before giving up and just working in my swim suit, and yes, it was cold. Then, yesterday, I discovered that the garden tour is on Oct. 19, not on Tuesday!!!! So, still work to do but lots more time to do it. Nothing gets one mobilized like the promise of visitors.
For Cee’s FOTD

Now I’ll bet you try to work in a couple of more projects like I would.

You know me so well. I went and bought an entire trunkful of new plants and carried them around to try to choose places for them so Pasiano can plant them tomorrow.

lovely. I have one of these as a houseplant (it’s outside now but will come in when cold weather sets in) and has bloomed multiple times with white blossoms.

One advantage of living in a temperate zone, Lisa..I think we have only had light snow or light hail twice in 23 years. No snow.

Ooh nice, I’m not surprised your yard will be on a garden tour. Nothing like getting a head start.

That is true. Hope there is no second last minute rush.

I’d wish you good luck, but it sounds as if you’ll do whatever it takes and I’m sure you’ll reap the reward.

The only reward is satisfaction over a job adequately done but if others enjoy it that is, you are right , a big reward.

Lots of hard work, but the garden tour sounds like fun.
