High wind this morning. The ripples on the fire prevention pond were due to the wind and not due to ducks. A hawk made its solitary progress against the sky.
I scraped in a layer of new topsoil around the two oleanders in the front border garden and mixed in the last of a box of 10-10-10 fertilizer. Lowe’s did not stock that formula of fertilizer, but I found and will try another all purpose plant food.
I cleared grass away from the photinia and will hope for the best. Clearing acorns out of the front slope garden seems to be the chore for the next while.
