2009 Woodtick Count - 28

I have too been working outside in the gardens! I'm not complaining about the static woodtick count...would you?

We've had exactly .02 inches of rain today. Wow! Needless to say, my gardens are thirsty. Before we got our .02 inches of rain this afternoon, I dragged the hose down to the lower gardens and watered the iris and the dwarf iris that I transplanted the other day. Maybe that's why finally got some rain...minimal as it were.

Today was a perfect day for a fire in the fireplace. Aside from doing laundry, working on making some receiving blankets for DD Daughter's baby (due in late September), and getting the pre-prep work done on Sis' and my summer wine-making projects, I've been enjoying the warmth of a fireplace fire. I could have made some cookies and let the heat from the oven take away the chill in the air (50 degrees outside and overcast)but a fireplace fire has fewer calories than an oatmeal raisin cookie.
