Thank you so much for the nice comments. I enjoy containers so much since I have better control over the watering.
It is now 84 deg. and actually 100 in the sun on the East Deck and 104 in the Greenhouse. This is so sudden for this heat. I find it difficult to keep my old body adjusted and keep the animals cool. Just noticed the gang at the barn and they had the hose out and Tony the Pony was getting a bath. He was having a great time and everyone was wet. So, the only outside animals I worry about are the barn cats but they hide under the feed barn until the sun goes down. The birdbath gets filled two and three times on a day like this. May as well stop worrying, the summer is just beginning. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I will be spending it with my plants and animals here on the farm. Not big on crowds anymore. Happy Memorial Day.
