Weekend at the Farm September 8 - 9, 2018

Pretty garden spider.

We came up on Friday evening after dinner and the traffic had died down.  On Saturday evening we met Mom, Dad, Nan and Lisa in Washington on the Brazos at Dos Brisas for dinner.  They drove to Burton after dinner and spent the night.  Lovely evening.  We made our reservations for our Alaska cruise in July.
  • Saturday I spent several hours in the Star Garden pulling weeds and staking ageratum.  I trimmed the Almond Verbena.  Watered dry places in the La Marne border.  Hauled away a truckload of debris and weeds.
  • I spent several hours in the Orchard pulling weeds and generally cleaning up.
  • Saturday afternoon we got some good rain and it continued to rain throughout the evening and the next day.  We really needed the rain, everything was very dry. 
  • When we got home from dinner with my folks and sisters, Bert saw an armadillo outside.  He shot it.  Yay!  Those little monsters are ruining my gardens.
  • Sunday, breakfast and Alaska trip-planning.  Home to Houston after that.
