It is hard to believe it is July already. The older I get the faster time seems to be going.
It wasn't too bad out earlier, so right after breakfast I went out and mowed, 8-8:30, and I was becoming soaked but I decided to do a tad weeding and trimming. Kids across the street started letting of firecrackers and that took the joy out of what I was doing so I quit for the day.
It looked like rain and there was thunder in the distance but it all went around us. I have to hand water to keep things surviving. I'm allowed two days to use the sprinklers. I don't water grass, or driveway plantings either, it survives or it doesn't.
Here are some pictures taken this morning.
Happy zinnias.

"Rest is not idleness,
and to lie sometimes on the grass
under trees on a summer's day,
listening to the murmur of the water,
or watching the clouds float across the sky,
is by no means a waste of time."
John Lubbock
