Well, another Summer storm today. Right in the middle of the day. It poured buckets for about an hour. Power was out again. It's been out more than on lately it seems. It passed quick but left everything soaked. I planted anyway. Got the strawberry patch cleared out too. It has grown from three plants to nine. I had to uproot almost as many raspberry which were trying to encroach on the strawberry patch. My raspberry patch moves. It has a mind of its' own and I just let it go unless it tries to move into another garden bed. I won't let it choke anything out but I let it wander anywhere it likes between the drive and the shade bridge garden. The original edge is now in the middle of the patch. I have two new pink carnation blooming but I have yet to find the motivation to look up their proper names. Seems like a winter activity. For now, I am calling them pink carnation One and pink carnation Two. I actually found mushroom in the sanctuary. Usually our soil is baked so dry from the hot afternoon sun that mushroom wouldn't stand a chance. Plants barely stand a chance without a good layer of mulch and an irrigation pump. That is not the case this year. Staying positive for sunshine tomorrow and dry soil the next day. Might be wishful thinking.
