Typical Sunday morning, water the plants, do the puzzle, refill the hummingbird feeder. This is about peak hummer season, they are emptying my one feeder in about 3 hours.
Nothing on the schedule, decided to have Dennis over for lunch if he wanted, and he did. Prior to lunch I drove down to the nursery and bought some fungicide to kill a nasty white stuff on one of my big Dragon Wing begonias. White fluffy thready fungus that in this plant likes to grow on the underside of the leaves. All the internet pictures show it growing on top of leaves. Well, copper fungicide should kill it whatever it is. Yes, I wore a mask and gloves while spraying.
Also bought a pot for a jade plant that is over-achieving. Then to Safeway for some groceries especially a 10-pound bag of sugar for the flock.
Nice lunch with Dennis, Larry — who knew Dennis from way back — and my neighbors Edie and Carolyn.
Quiet afternoon. At various times during the day I did short spells with the guitar. I cn tell my fingertips are getting tougher but there’s a way to go. I remember the chords, though.
