Summer Pots, Dirt Magnet, Storm Damage

I finally planted the planters with our summer flowers. I've had the flowers for weeks and it was either too cold or I didn't have time. My inlaws took Jaron for a few hours, so I finally had uninterrupted time. 


I also put mosquito netting over the chicken waterer. That's a big relief to not think about that anymore. I had other netting I planned to use, but I couldn't find it. Then I remembered I had two nets with elastic at the bottom meant to go over a stroller or pack n play to protect a baby from bugs. It went on super easy! (There's a copper pipe in the waterer to keep algae from growing. It's worked so far!)

My little dirt magnet had fun exploring the pots at Papa and Mimi's house. 


He is grumpy because he wanted to eat the cat treats and I wouldn't let him. 

Shortly after supper the wind picked up, the rain came, and we had a huge downpour. Neither G or I knew about a storm, but thankfully our outside stuff was picked up and nothing blew around. Unfortunately, a dead branch above our deck dislodged and crashed to the deck. Thankfully, it didn't damage anything. 

Unfortunately, another tree snapped- the beautiful conifer in the goat pasture. It doesn't seem like the garage roof is damaged, thankfully. 

Now we have to decide if we cut the whole tree down or just shave off the top. My vote is for the latter.
