Chippers, the local tree people, were here to dis-assemble the big maple that came down in the dry storm. After it was chipped, we kept the chips for the shelter part of the barn for Brady the horse. Their truck broke down after the job and is still in the pasture. They hope to have it repaired tomorrow.
I re-built part of Judy’s pumpkin cart. It had lost a wheel and the front axle to decay. I used pressure treated wood so the repaired parts should last for decades. I have now replaced all of it except two wheels and the handle. Today I swept up all the sawdust and scraps of wood in the garage and put away the tools for now.
New blooms: goose-neck loosestrife, red yarrow, more phlox, echinacea, helenium.
Helenium, also called 'sneeze weed', is another daisy-like flower for most of August.
Goose-neck loosestrife, not to be confused with the invasive purple loosestrife, is just starting.
Here are the rejuvenated rockers and square table. The round table is not wood but looks like wood. It's probably rot resistant polyvinyl chloride. Maizie is quite unimpressed with the work.
Nice gold color on this hybrid daylily.
Four colors of phlox, the white is a hydrangea.
Nice sky tonight silhouettes the weather vane.
