Once in a while Don tunes into the Vermont local weather app. It actually startles me to hear the familiar weather reporter predicting snow or "warming temperatures" maybe reaching into the 40's (F)!
It seems normal to have warm and sunny days, to be out biking and walking, to not have to put on socks.
The hibiscus was slightly damaged in the hurricane, but it is looking good in recovery. I had given a good pruning last year.
Don goes out to pick a blossom every day.
He did a super job trimming the pineapple palm. It would cost $75 to have the tree service do the same thing.
Waiting for the yard waste pick up.
We also trimmed the orange scented jasmine away from the house. Branches had torn the screen in the hurricane so I took that to the hardware store to be rescreened. Since hurricane damage to my house was little lthings like a shredded screen, I consider myself most fortunate.
It's all beautiful! My FAVORITE is your double peach hibiscus. It's really pretty and your jasmine should smell lovely! Palm tree is unique to see. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteGosh, if your hibiscus grows in Vermont, it should grow in Kansas. I have others but they haven't done so well. Do you remember where you acquired the peach one? Thanks, Linda in Kansas
