Have 3 climatis
plants in diff
places and 3
diff climatis
in on place. All
are on either a
nylon trellis or
a ½ in by 10' ft
copper pipes. They
are red, blue, &
purple, bloom for
a few weeks and
grow 8' tall, 2-3'
ft wide. Nice
flowers to have
in the gardens.

Sounds like they add a ton of color!
I played 18 today. Rode in a cart but walked a bunch including looking for a number of lost balls in my 4some. Probably 2 miles or more.

Noticed one
of the three
clematis plants
are blooming
today. Have my
first red
flowers from
them this year.
They will all
bloom w/in a
few weeks. Got
in a walk up
the road. My
back felt it
so the walk
was cut short.

Sounds like summer has arrived there!
Your back seems really mad right now.
I made it to TG today. Hit it poorly after a good round yesterday. Glad I didn't try to play 9.

Back is lousy
at the present
time. Walks or
carrying a pan
of water makes
my back cry
for mercy. Even
back strengthening
exercises ruin
my back instead
of helping. No
choice but to
take it easy.

Hopefully rest helps your back improve.
I had a trip to the dentist today -- always a blast.

A pal was driving
me to Market Basket,
the giant supermarket
an hour from here.
Dreaming of steak &
cheese subs and had
a list of goodies.
The fellow ran out
of gas on the way.
The entire area is
as rural as a forest
can be. He walked to
a store for a gallon
of water, dumped it,
and walked to a gas
station to fill it.
Nearly 1 hour in time.
Then stayed locally.

Bet you had a can at your house that would have avoided the whole thing had you known your pal was running on fumes at the time.
So did you make it to MB?

Stayed locally.
We are to go to
Market Basket next
week. He's going
to Boston on Sunday
for a few days.
That area is to
have a heat wave.
Glad to be in the
mtns w/its cooler
nights and the
windows open to
catch all that
pleasing air, then
close the windows
at 7-8 AM to trap
the A/C via Mom
Nature for the day.

You're lucky to be skipping the heat wave.
We've got an "excessive heat warning" that starts tomorrow at noon and lasts thru Friday. IOW, summer's here.

Not escaping
the heat wave,
the forecaster
added some heat
to Tues, Wed, &
Thurs. At least
the evenings and
overnights will
be cool. Can
remember Boston
heatwaves. House
walls were hot at
night. Our buddies
would go to a lake,
the beach, or the
airport to get
some relief from
the heat.

We caught a break today when a storm popped up. Torrential rain on and off for most of an hour. Knocked the temp down to the low 80s from 91 at about 2 pm.
The libraries announced extended hours until it breaks except for Wednesday when they're closed for the holiday, but they're still opening 4 branches for a lot of the day -- no services other than wifi and a/c. City pools are also extending hours.
I got out early and played 18. Walked about 2 miles with a cart. It was nice to start but getting warm by the end -- car thermometer said it was 91 outside when I was a mile and a half from the course.
Bottom line: Summer's here!

Like Juneteenth
or Emancipation
Day (Texas). We
need to celebrate
the ending of
slavery in the
U.S. A heatwave
arrives today.
Going to be the
hottest up north
in years. We may
even break a few
records. Nights
will be in the
high 60's.

Day 2 of the Heat Warning here. Not as bad as advertised, we're just 89. But it was hot on the golf course. Really appreciated the shade. Walked a lot less today and most of it early in the round. About 1.5 miles.

The forecaster
just removed
some heat from
Thurs so we are
not actually are
having a heat
wave. Thurs is
now forecast to
be "only" 88°.
W/the w/e to be
in the 70's. Have
the windows open
tonight w/no
breeze to rid
the house of the
92° high temp of
the day.
