Water in Talk Story

Another “Aloha Friday”…

I spent part of this morning getting ready for tomorrow’s barbecue/potluck… got everything done that needed getting done… (smiles)

We haven’t had much in the way of rain for quite some time… and the weather has been warm (and dry)… so this evening I went outside and watered my plants…

Most of you know that my house sits within 30 feet of Harris beach state park… so I have lots of trees in my back yard…
But I also have lot’s of ferns… different varieties of them… and this time of year the fronds have unfurled… and they look wonderful…

In addition to my collection of succulents… I have quite a few plants and trees in containers… and they need to be watered more often…

The dry stream bed that I designed goes through the back yard and empties into the forest… and all of the plants that I put in along the banks… are now fully mature making the area look like it has always been there…

So imagine for a moment if you will… the sun has gone done… but it is still light outside… starting to cool off… and I wander the property with a garden hose…

I take my time… enjoying the results of my labor (play) over the past ten years that I have been here…

I change the water in the myriad of bird baths in the back yard… don’t want to attract mosquitoes…

Most likely I overdo it… but my enjoyment factor is now at the top…

There is water everywhere… even quite a bit on me… which is okay because it is still warm outside…

I wish for you… a fun filled and safe 4th of July weekend…

Aloha oe…
