Here is one of the pictures we took today of the ripening grapes. The are getting close to being ready to pick. Not quite sweet enough yet. A little tart still. But I have noticed in the news that crews are starting to harvest the grapes already. So it does not surprise me that ours are almost ready. This is the second year for us to have so many grapes. Too much for us alone of course. So I will be taking some to work, church etc.
Today we puttered around in the yard a bit. Did some trimming, deadheaded flowers, fertilized and watered, and planted some vinca flowers. I am getting to know some flower names now that we are spending more time out there. Plus walking around where flowers are sold and checking out the names and so forth. We are already making plans for what to plant next year. I think we will try to start some stuff from seed and see how that does for us.
Before it got too warm, we took a walk around our park, but because of my back I was not sure how far I could walk. Surprisingly I managed to walk the entire park. It was nice to check out changes and see what other people are doing in their yards. We got some ideas we could eventually try in ours. One thing we may try is succulents which don't take much water. It was a pleasant walk. I am glad I was able to do that. Taking walks together is something we need to do more often.
