Hello all,
Well, Yesterday and Today we had raccoons come around, tearing things up and getting into the cat (we don't own) area, and messing things up. So, needless to say, they were 👻dispatched 👻to the happy hunting grounds. These things are driving my cat whom we don't own, crazy. He does not like having them come around and bother "his" space.

Oh, by the way, the " 🐈⬛" we don't own has now decided to "own" us. He loves pets and touching, and loves getting scratches. It only took him 2 summers and winters to trust people just a little. He has one ear cropped, I think it has been spayed or neutered, then turned loose, what if you want a cat or not. Does not matter, the spay and neuter clinics around here, we were told, spay and neuter them and then turn them loose with ONE EAR CUT OFF on the tip. This, in my thinking, is cruel. If you don't want your cat, do the responsible thing and take it to the VET and have it put to sleep. Do not let them run around loose to be hit by a car or eaten by another animal around here in the woods.
Some find a friend, and he or she gets food & water every day and a warm place to sleep out of the weather. But still, not so friendly that we can take him or her to the vet and have the shots & care given to keep them healthy. So, he still is on his own, really. what if he has a toothache? Or what if he has a kidney issue, suffers in pain, it will be because someone thought it was wise to let them go on their own, with no care for the rest of their lives!
The last 5 days we have had no rain, heat index warnings, and temps into the high 90s. It is very bad, but cooler days are on the way with rain by Friday and Saturday, and it can't get here soon enough for me. This last winter, with the two days of -10 and -12, two nights in a row, was the first for us here in W.V. Now this spring and summer are horribly hot and humid all the time.
I did get two new (pink 🌸& white🌼) bell plants, nice big ones in 3-gallon pots. I also ordered a 4-inch one in apricot color that turns more 💮orange as the flower ages, from another store.
When they get some blooms, I will post them here.
