They are all out

I managed to take all the houseplants out that go out in the summer. We shall see if some of the herbs come back.
The hose is now hooked up, but I did not want to water last night. I will do that today.
This is the perfect day for spending more time outside. We are having lots of pleasant days. I got the lawn chairs out and sat for a while just listening to the wild life sounds around me. Once I water the birds will be here in force, having drinks.
Breakfast is done, dishes are done. We have lots of small dishes of left overs and once we clear those out there will be a ton of new dishes. I am glad the weekend is almost here.
Thursday is a pretty busy day for my student. I guess I will go get mentally ready to work.

I'm not putting any house plants out just yet. While it was warm enough yesterday, and will be today and tomorrow, the temperature is supposed to drop again by Monday. Anyway, I still have to clean the spots where I park them for the summer.

I do not see anything below freezing in our forecast for the next ten days. So they are out.

@BarBaraPrz I did that too, as well as an overgrown zucchini someone left on my porch.

For tomatoes you do have to watch for frost.

Yay, the houseplants will enjoy their time in the sun. Mine seems to be doing fine in the window. I am not going to take it out. It might get attacked by insects.

Bitty had unpotted some and so they really need to be outside and safe from her.

@GardenGerty Speaking of that, I have a succulent in the window and this morning it was on its side. I haven't known Nico to get up there before, but doubtful it fell over by itself.

Enjoy the pleasant days that you have there. These days it's getting warm outside and not so pleasant for outdoor activities. We will start getting rain in few weeks and then the pleasant weather would be back.
It's vacation time here for me. I have lost track of weekdays and weekends for the time being.

@GardenGerty Yes, it is going on good. I have few things planned out for the vacation. I might not finish all of them. But as long as I am enjoying it, it's good

@GardenGerty - I have learned from locals. They all told me "you move outside after the 3 Ice Saints". I could not understand, until I discovered that the 3 Ice Saints are from may 11 to May 13, those days are always colder than average.

I haven't finished carrying my plants out that normally go outside during the Summer yet. I'm tired from a full day and just want to rest some more.
I hope you have a good evening/night.

Is your health doing okay? I was so tired for several days before I got diagnosed with strep.

@GardenGerty Yes, I'm fine, thank you. I took Pretty to her doctor today. She's been having high BP lately and I was worrying about her. Her doctor prescribed the same meds for her that I'm taking. The insurance is fighting paying for it so I gave her some of my meds until the insurance finally lets her have the meds, too.

We are having wind and hail. Have not gone down to frost for a couple of weeks. My aloe plants seem to have a sunburn, so I moved them to the shade.

Back in Latvia, I had quite a few houseplants and always put them out on a bench by the house throughout the summer,

I have a variety of planters that i put plants in. I have a small wooden bench that I would like to paint red for an accent and put plants on.
