#spirea

I got out front and did more snipping and cleaning. It is starting to look a little better but it was getting hot already. I cleaned out around and under the Spirea and I still got a few flowers on them. The second pic is the hosta flowers out front.

I watched a video on pruning tomato plants and tried my hand at that. As I was pruning I thought I kept hearing a little voice underneath saying ow-ow son of a bitch 😂. At least the underside has a little more ventilation now.

The last one is of a scruffy looking robin I caught just before it flew away out back. The wildfire smoke is getting closer, it’s only about 70 miles north and closing in fast. 🙁

The spirea out front still look pretty good. There are many weeds and grasses in there but I’m doing the best I can.

Today was garbage day and I put three barrels of trimmings and weeds out for recycling. I prefer to a lot of shrub trimming by hand but carpal tunnel problems has stopped much of that.

I have two of these out front. The one on the left side seems to be going crazy this year. What a show off.

I am taking a couple minutes break from house cleaning and wanted to share these. I still a resting for the most part but I have to chip away at vacuuming and cleaning.

Here is a closer look at the above bush. I just love this color. It has been dark all day so far but we have not gotten any more rain since this morning’s post.
