Babies, but No Guests Yet


Lookie, lookie! The Sempervivum 'Gold Nugget' is having babies. This is the first that either clump of it has made an attempt to spread.

And I told you the Donkeytail Euphorbia finally had babies. I've found 6 so far. I gave two away, have 2 in a pot to hold for contingencies, and these two are planted where I want them. One doesn't look great because something already dug it up once. Sigh. But succulents are tough. I'll see if it revives.

Guests are not here yet. One should arrive soon. The other is delayed and will be here in the middle of the night. Also sigh. But worse for him.

I figured out how to clean the filters on the vacuum cleaner after discovering there were two of them. That made it work much better. Some of the boxes of stuff are reordered and stacked, dishes are done. It's as good as it's going to get for me at this time.

Worked a tiny bit on gardens. The air was really oppressive today. But I got the Gaura out of its pot and into the ground. Finished weeding the driveway beds, did a few little tweaks here and there. Not sure if any gardening will happen tomorrow although I really need to get a couple of things out of pots.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's event.
