This morning it was very chilly, but I didn't go out. I’m not kidding my royally hotsy totsy Florida was in the cool sixties this morning, degrees that is! And it almost put a kibosh on me getting a swim in again. The dilemma was solved when logic took over after yesterday’s mid-seventies crisis; I realized that the afternoon got back up to a more classic Florida temperature in the upper eighties to low nineties, ah the warmth returned by late morning to early afternoon; something’s are reliable!
Now, this morning the only dilemma would be to check to make sure the water in the pool had not gone down as well. Hubby checked for me while I stayed in the warmth of our happy home, as feared the temp had dropped, but not that severely, all the way to 82, and it was salvageable. Once the solar panels went on by post lunch time I was ready to delve into my exercise program again with a temperature hovering around a toasty 85, purr…fect!
I enjoyed my time in the tepid pool, and while doing my ROM (range of motion) program I got a small brain storm. I know you are all saying LOL, since she has a small brain, of course, and that my friends was a no brainer!
Any-who, us gardener’s are using, or I should say reusing regular household products for decorative displays within the gardens themselves, since they have lost their usual vitality, or usefulness, so to speak. In this particular case I am referring to an old wooden ladder that not even at a dollar price that we could get rid of it at a garage sale years ago; and so Hubby painted it a brilliant grass green, and secured it to the ground, and it became a shelving system for several potted plants, which have since gone onto their great reward; OK, they died there!
The reason may very well be because of the containers that they were in; they were those open metal baskets that you must use moss to make them viable for such things. In the direct sun it brought havoc to the plants and would dry out quite significantly and much too quickly.
Oh, right I was about to tell you about my ingenious idea, well those metal half ball baskets, make a complete sphere when attached to one another. Hubby was quick to want to toss them, but I saw their uniqueness and asked for his assistance, and he jumped right in as a willing partner in my project. Yes, it was in my mind’s eye that I saw the reuse for these metal baskets, once cleaned up and painted a bright cheerful, perhaps iridescent color they could be a different type of garden ball?
We are as far as the cleaning up process. I was given a bucket with soap to scrub them, while sitting on the patio, and then Hubby took them into the garage to scrape the rest of the flaking paint with a hard metal brush used for such things after they had dried. When they are all cleaned up we will then decided on a color scheme, and let you know how they turn out, OK?
That’s something, huh? We did do a little today, right?
So now I wish you all a good night and to all take care, be safe, and count those blessings, and I will look for mine, they have to be around here somewhere?
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
