Bamboo picture & yard update

I will be delighted to send a picture as soon as the rain stops and I can take one. We have had almost non-stop rain for days and it is forecasted to go through Thursday. I do not know what I dread facing the most the weeds that have gone beserk, or the mosquitoes. I plan to grocery shop tomorrow and pick up mosquitoe spray for the yard. Just walking outside for a short time ,like to take out the trash, you look down and see mosquitoes on your clothes.

I got the notification from Bluestone, but appreciate your pointing it out too as you never know if someone is getting a notice. I would rather get two than none at all. I decided not to get any more plants until I get the yard weeded and trimmed. I am going to use the money Kay gave me for my birthday at Home Depot to buy some round stones and finish the walk along the back fence that leads from the bamboo area to the new area and the compost to fill in around the stones. That will finish up that area.

I am afraid I will lose the daisies and the purple cone flowers we potted up if it does not dry up enough for me to get out there and plant them. Our ground is totally saturated and the new rain that falls, sits on top of the grass for a long time before disappearing. I bet if you walked across the lawn it would feel marshy. The trees though look wonderful and I have not seen them this green and lush for a long time. The mandavilla vine that broke off and I repotted into two pots looks wonderful. With all this rain and cooler temperatures the repots did not even wilt.

Our lakes are all at, or above normal. Just last month Lake Lavon was still six feet below normal. This summer we will be so happy for all this moisture and will be wanting more rain. Never satisfied is man!!!
