Drats! Foiled again!

I can't believe how dry the ground is! It was quite a chore to dig a hole for the viburnum yesterday. I decided that, in order to finish planting the rest of the garden additions, I would water. Yesterday I had the sprinkler running for two hours in the garden where I planted the shrub, then switched it to the platform feeder garden straight off of the deck. It ran for about three hours there, then I switched it to the garden to the east that has Storm and the yellow magnolia tree. After Max got home we went to a clam bake (wow, the food was incredible!) and left the hose running. I forgot to turn it off! It ran until about 9 p.m. Now I need to water the rest of the two acres...a chore I don't look forward to. Hopefully it will rain soon. Those poor plants MUST get into the ground!

Tonight I'm making hot dogs and hamburgers on the fire pit for family members. I also made creamy ranch pasta salad with cheddar cheese and peas and broccoli cauliflower salad. After I hang up here I will make an apple pie to go with the vanilla ice cream. Hope mom and dad can come over too.

Have a happy day, everyone.
