Last Friday of Summer

Well today was officially my last Friday of summer. I spent the day relaxing with H.D.. We have been playing Wii, researching options for H.D.'s birthday, I weeded part of the terrace and Scott planted a big beautiful Hibiscus for me to start phase 2 of our terrace planting. It is time to start thinking about working on that some more now that I am home, and it is going to start to get cooler in the next month or so. I am tired of looking at weeds, baked dirt, and a smattering of plants few of which are flowering anymore.

I am looking for some drought tolerant, partial shade/sun, all seasons plants that would do well in poor soil for zone 5-6. WOW sounds like I am asking for a miracle plant! I am going to fertilize and compost so the mostly clay soil should improve. It is really too hot to do anything serious out there in the next couple of weeks. It was 90-ish today.

I haven't had much to blog about the last few days. H.D. and I swam Wednesday at the park and Thursday at my friend Steph's apartment. He is a FISH!

I think that tomorrow we might try to go to the water park, or maybe just the pool again.
