In my pursuit to rearrange my sleep schedule, this morning went a little better than yesterday. I was out of bed by 4:30 AM and wasn't quite as tired when I awoke as I was yesterday. My midday nap happened later than I hoped, but I had no problem falling asleep. The hot and humid weather only made it a little harder to stay asleep. So far I am pleased with how the sleep routine change is going. Other things I am happy about today:
- My back has been giving me some problems since weeding so much on Monday. I set a time limit for how long to pull them today. There are so many that I know I will never be able to keep up with them. Last year I painted some rocks, as did Keziah, and I was given one from a friend. I set them out onto the triangle.
 |
| Someday I hope to have many rocks, painted or not, to adorn this area along with flowers. |
- Behind the butterfly weed a yellow primrose has bloomed.
 |
| Yellow Evening Primrose. |
- The yellow foxgloves are also blooming. It turns out that some plants that I thought were foxgloves, aren't. It is really easy to tell the difference now that some is blooming.

- The other concentration of my efforts in the garden was to recreate some of the irrigation system that I have been working on. I am pleased to say that I have successfully put together a series of regular hoses with the soaker hoses. I still have to move around the main hose between areas, but it is much more -set it and forget- than before. One of my purchase goals after I have a job will be to pick up some timers so the garden gets watered without me having to remember.
- It looks like there will be more strawberries in the next few days!

| There are some showing signs on other plants too. |

I finally finished this book today! Full of information and aimed for children I thought I would have found more time to read it and get through it faster.
Thanks for reading and stay safe.
