This is great, Carla!

I'm proud of you and a bit envious because today is a bad mosquito day, between recent rain, overcast and being behind on mowing. My garden time has been spent with every bit of me covered and feeling grateful for my sun hat and bug netting hood.

Thanks for celebrating on my behalf and I'm with you in spirit.

Yes me too Skandi!  It was a lovely day for gardening, and I did take my jumper off, but a cold north wind meant it was still a two T-shirts and long trousers day despite the sunshine.  Maybe more skin at the end of May, but no way the beginning!  "Ne'er cast a clout" (don't take off your coat) "till May be out", and neither the month is over nor the flower (hawthorne) is in bloom, so my clothes will stay firmly on just now thanks!

But kudos to you Carla, hopefully your weather was a bit warmer!

It was somewhere between 78°F & 80°F, when I was out there. We're not where neighbors are going to see, unless they actually come down the drive - and I had a pullover house-dress handy, just in case. I got a bit more sun on my face than I meant to, because I forgot my (homemade) sunscreen, and the ticks are out, and on the prowl, so I didn't stay nekkid, the whole time - just in this area, where we are diligent about the d.e., and herbal/ essential oil battle against them.

Can't do July 1st, what about people on the other side of the globe?

87% of the worlds population live in the northern hemisphere, and most of those in the southern half of the world live close enough to the equator that whichever month one picks it would be fine, Only really the very tip of south america and NZ that might get a bit cold on the 1st July.

Just checking in tonight to see has been having a bit of crazy fun today, and …..blah.  Oh boy, you guys need some lightening up. So here’s something from Hawaii that may make you chuckle, or shock you, or make you mad. Maybe I’m just old and crazy, but gardening today was fun.

It's never too late to start! I retired to homestead on the slopes of Mauna Loa, an active volcano. I relate snippets of my endeavor on my blog : www.kaufarmer.blogspot.com

How about make us jealous! I'm still not tempted to strip off here, we may make 60 F today if we're lucky. Still, the grass is growing and I'm watching for my seed germination and potatoes sprouting, life is good

Once again, the neighbors saw me. Good music from the ear buds.
