REDNESDAY


Hi everyone! Welcome to Rednesday! I hope you are all having a wonderful, fun, and relaxing Summer so far! I am!

Mister was mowing the lawn this afternoon, so I decided to show some pics (from Google) of vintage lawn mowers and ads. Feel free to use them.

REDNESDAY


Hi everyone!

Okay, so I got my camera working after last week's "wonky-ness", but I misplaced it this week.  :(
  
(Yes, it is red!) 

Today I'm having trouble with installing the Java update. Very frustrating!


But . . . it IS summer vacation, so that makes up for it all!

Hi everyone! Hope you've all had a good week. Is everyone out of school yet? Becky had her last day on Monday, but I still have to get up for Jade for a few more days. My (new) camera is wonky, so I can't share any photos; but, I scanned a book that I purchased recently.

This is "Trudy Phillips, New Girl", a Whitman book from 1953. I haven't read it yet, but it's got a great cover!
I like how it has a bulletin-board theme for each chapter heading, and each one is different, too!

Happy June Rednesday! It's been raining off and on this past week, and yesterday and today it's been quite cool - around 48F/9C. That's not June weather! But, I'll take it over snow and freezing any day!

I finished planting all the in-ground flowers and veggies before the full moon on Monday. Still have a few more perennials to go, but they're not big enough yet, so will wait until after the next new moon in July. I have a few more to put in pots, but I don't adhere to the moon schedule with potted plants.

Speaking of potted plants, I have to pot up a bunch of stuff for the annual plant sale at our church this weekend. The teens have a combo yard sale/plant sale to raise money for their missions trip each year. This year 88 students and staff are going to Grafton, West Virginia to help in the community.

A few more garden reds today! Mister and I poked around an antique store last Saturday. All we came out with were a book (for him) and this seed bag for me. I don't know how old it really is because it has a zip code on it (zip codes began in 1963), but that doesn't stop me from liking it! The claw on the right is my all-time favorite. I use it every time I garden!

This photo has two Columbines in it. I planted them from the same packet of seeds called William Guinness, but this plant on the left turned out to be a rogue. And I like it!

Here is a shot of what the inside of the William Guinness looks like ~
