Rain continues; Humidity

Slow work in the garden this week- weather has not been favorable. A bit here and there really. There is just so much to do, I often get side-tracked with another area.
This week....
1. Worked a bit on the vegetable garden (although no vegetables), excavating the corner and moving the cactus and strawberries. I feel a bit bad for our neighbor, looking at such a mess out of his back window.
2. Worked on the berm around the big tree.
3. Cleaned up the wood pile, moving plants into the space.
4. Planted new plants (still have more) AND a growing stock of transplants... like last summer.

Weeding and lots of weeding. I've been putting mulch down after to deter more weeds. 20 bags thus far, only a fraction of what I will need. Maybe next year I will order in bulk.

Still, TONS TO DO!

Humidity has been an issue- 83 degrees, but heat index ten degrees higher. Sometimes it is really thick to breathe. Indoor vs. outdoor can be a world of difference.

The heat, wet, and humidity has brought on a huge amount of mosquitoes. Normally, I probably would not be so concerned, but West Nile virus is here in Boone and Winnebago counties.
I found a few dead birds in the yard a couple weeks back, but there is a hawk that comes around.

Today, after more rain, I've been lazy. Not much I can do outside; ground too wet, more rain in the forecast (seems to go around Rockford for the most part).

Been going to the gym in the AM (but not today) and doing very well tackling some things on my TTD list (again, not today).

I have plenty to do.
Outdoor list for nice days; indoor list for days like today: cleaning up the house, schedules, organizing.

Let's begin.
