Hazy Hot and Humid. We're getting July in June. Yesterday the temps hit 93 with a heat index of 101. R is out there like a nut trimming the big hedge in front of the house. He doesn't get out of bed until about noon, so he's out there working from about 1-3 the hottest time of the day. I worry but nothing I can do. I sure couldn't do it.
Got up early and did my bit for the hedge project...raked up and hauled out all the clippings. I spread them as mulch around a couple of the Pine Gap forsythias. Yikes....the poison ivy is very bad down there in the "newer" section of the Pine Gap, where it faces due west. I'm definitely going to have to buy some of that brush killer and spray that entire stretch.
Big news: the utility company has been working away at the poplar line. They've got 7 of the dead as doornails poplars down and gone and yesterday they started doing something with the 3 remaining live ones but then they quit and left so i'm not sure if all they are going to do is trim them up or if they are going to remove them. I hope they come back and take them down. Those trees have been a menace for the past several years as they slowly come to the end of their life span (about 25 years) and I worry that they might topple onto either my gardens, my neighbors house, or the power lines. (we had several fall over in the past decade....scary...)
Picked a "mess" more peas late yesterday evening, but havent got to them yet. I need to buckle down and get some editing done this morning because I'm having lunch with a friend in Gettysburg this afternoon and I know I'll end up spending a few hours with her just yakking our heads off.
