The roof inspector is scheduled, the torrential weather knocked the pollen off the trees and seems to have abated the miller moth invasion, and my car is still drivable. Oh – and I can purchase two new cushions for the outdoor furniture as the hail truly ripped one to shreds.
Seriously, it will be nice to spray the yellow coating of pollen off of everything now, and maybe I can put away my vacuum since there was only one insect body for the graveyard today. (I did see those nasty floating cotton seeds begin their journey to my window screens and garage, a new scourge for June weather conditions.)
Sometimes my gardening is given a shorter span of joy than others. I will baby these scraps of growth to see what will become of them. I am not repurchasing and replanting, rather employing “kitsugi.” It is the Japanese art of repairing broken objects but I’m using it for my living plants this year. Somehow it makes this destruction more palatable.
On to some kitsugi time today!
I’m with you – roof inspector coming Friday!
Yes…we need a new one and gutters. Ugh.
That must have been some storm!!
Yes…apparently it was our turn this summer as we missed it last year.
