I didn't go biking this morning. Today was a repeat of yesterday with high humidity and thunderstorms threatening all day and a little shower in the late afternoon. It cooled off a little but the humidity was still high. I spread the mulch around my portulacas. They were finally big enough for me to do that. Then my neighbor's granddaughter came over and helped me plant some flowers along the yard where it meets the road. They are shallow rooted so they won't interfere with the phone lines. I was about 18 inches back from the road and still hit the road two inches down. I wouldn't have been able to plant azaleas even if the phone lines weren't there. I'll have to plant them back further. The flowers were given to me by my neighbor, Marlene, who got them from another neighbor, Juan. They look like vincas.
Janine, my neighbor whose granddaughter helped me, cut my grass on the west side while she was cutting the house next door. Janine lives on the east side and I usually cut the little bit of her yard that adjoins mine. She also helped me the other day when I found a tick on my back and couldn't reach it to get it out. Ticks are a part of like around here. Ug! It was a dog tick. They don't carry lyme disease but could carry Rocky Mountain tick fever. This place is buggy but I had ticks in Vineland, too. There were also stink bugs in Vineland but not as bad as here. The air smelled like stink bugs this morning. I don't know why because they should be out in the famers fields this time of year.
