Feel bad that he doesn’t have that option… at least not until tomorrow afternoon when Mr. RepairMan comes. Crossing my fingers that a new unit isn’t required. 😬

It’s looking like summer around here!

Those Peskie’s picked up flowers for me while getting more tomato plants. They even deliver, you guys! The delivery fee was a dog bone and I figure that’s fair enough.

My only flower request was no orange or yellow — and I let them know I like pink and purple. They got a big fat “A” because the plants are beautiful! And they are HUGE!
