NJ Visit.

7-20-23 SHORT HILLS: We’re back in NJ for a short visit to collect the title to Judy’s car for the trade in on her birthday present, a Subaru Wilderness. We also found the title for my car and got the overdue registration on my car updated. 

We had dinner with Lynn and Bill last night, Alan was here for dinner tonight and tomorrow we meet Bebe and Ronny for dinner—very busy. 

I adjusted the water sprinklers because the yard was a bit too wet, ordered some meds from the pharmacy. 

The yard looks good. Nothing in trouble except a bit of the new grass where trees came down. The hydrangeas have rebounded nicely from the drought last year, but only one has a flower—the tree hydrangea is in bloom. 

In bloom: red spirea, peace lily, southern magnolia, rose-of-Sharon, tree hydrangea, hydrangea. 

Southern Magnolia has been blooming for over a month.

Rose-of-Sharon will bloom until mid-September.

The indoor plants are thriving outside. This peace lily, and the others, are busy flowering.
