July

Lilies still blooming. I took this photo yesterday before the end of pride month. 

From the other side. It's a mess. I kid myself it looks good from the street. Trust me, there are so many weeds mixed in, the plants all needs separated, everything is intertwined. 

Don't let wet sidewalks fool you, rain is not cooling down temperatures. 

It is out of control.  I would like to say there are still hostas under the mess.  I have seen random leaves. 

We have decided that this fall it all needs dug up. All of it.  We need to separate the lilies and lose about 80% of them.  We want to replant the lilies and the hostas and the iris which are also higher than and hiding the pink spirea bushes in small clumps with SPACE inbetween plants.  It's too much, it's all too much. And I am just glad it is hiding the weeds.  

Meanwhile.  How is the bathroom project? 

First - skeletons are in stock. 

Next. A woman who looked to be in her 80's was browsing in the tool section. She asked my husband for advice on a knife sharpener.  She has a machete she wants to sharpen. We entertained ourselves all the way home wondering weeds or husband? 

Finally picked up the toilet and about a zillion dollars more of the small stuff.  

It's out of control, too.  We lost June due to Mr Merry rebuilding my son's truck. And that is still never ending.  

We have too many supplies. It has been going on for so long I can't remember what we even have.  We were searching on line for a shower curtain rod last night (he wants one that is permanently installed) and I can't remember the finishes of what we already have.  Mr Merry was throwing out memories and thinks we got stainless steel handicap rails (we didn't, that I know) and a "black" towel rack and then said he thought gold faucets.  He wasn't being funny, he doesn't see anything wrong with this list.  

I know that the handles are brushed something because I spent a lot of time looking for what I wanted - not to thin, not to thick, I practiced wrapping my hand around them. The shape, etc.  I know what they look like.   

I would almost guess I picked matching faucets? I would think I bought them the same day? And I can't believe I picked up "black" towel racks.  

The next plan is to dig all this out from the garage, the spare room and where ever else he has been stashing parts and compare. And if I have to repurchase anything - I am pitching a fit!
