I got a lot crossed off my list today. First, I cleaned the fish tank and discovered a baby pineapple swordtail. It was large enough that it would not be eaten by the other fish. I was surprised as previous baby swordtails did not make it. I did have a lot of real and plastic plants for the fry to hide in. The mother swordtail is huge and will probably have more babies.
Next, I cut the grass and started watering. I moved the hose several times throughout the day but didn't get the whole yard done. I concentrated on the driest and most parched looking areas.
I made a glass of iced tea and after I cooled down, I went to get my flowers. I saw a birdbath for $18.99 at the garden center so I got it. The old one had a crack in it and it broke when I put it in its spot after cutting the grass. I found a nice red, white and blue silk bouquet at the garden center to take to the cemetery for Ted's grave. I got some white impatiens at this particular garden center but did not like the pink and lavender they had there. I drove around the corner to the other place where I got the previous flowers and found some real nice compact plants in light pink, lavender and I found the light pink vincas. I got some ageratums, lobelia, marigolds and moss roses.
I will be busy planting for the rest of the week.
I had some lunch and got cleaned up as I awaited my brother to come down to go to Ocean City. We had a nice walk on the boardwalk and a nice dinner at the Hula Grill. We both had to chuckle when the people next to us order cheeseburgers and fries at a Hawaiian restaurant. Don and I both got the Ahi Ahi. Which is fresh tuna on a bed of rice with garden salad with Hawaiian dressing. The restaurant has expanded to double its size from last year. There were tables inside but it was hot in there. We chose to eat outside. It is casual with picnic tables on a side portion of the boardwalk. The food is excellent and the prices are modest. Sorry, no ocean view. We walked some more on the boardwalk and got a custard before heading home.
Don helped me change the toner in my printer and I should be back in business printing photos and greeting cards. We both walked Danny before Don headed home. I relaxed a bit, did Danny’s ears and now am ready to turn in.
