The PA area has been dealing with some nasty temperatures in the 90s for about a week. The air is thick with lots of humidity and makes living on the 4th floor of an apartment building unbearable! I am now trying to think of things to do at ground level or in places with air conditioning. We spend a lot of time on our balcony in the summer, usually to escape the heat inside.
Our balcony has been progressing nicely over the summer because of Tom's diligent botanical efforts. Earlier this summer, we had planted Gerber Daisies and then transitioned those hanging pots into Petunias. Last night Tom planted Morning Glories (creepers) in two long pots and weaved wire around the railing slats for the plants to grow. It all looks very nice and I'm appreciating the art of horticulture more and more.

Why don't you turn your air conditioner on and stop being
frugal. You live on the 4th floor of a huge apartment building complex. Are you crazy or are you trying to go Green...sweat it out
a little?
You two are nuts!
it's not about frugality... the darn thing doesn't effectively cool the large living room down. it's pointless. sweating is all we've been doing.
Thanks for the "banner" tip. I'm going to check it out.
Love the photos of the flowers - gorgeous!
Hope that the hot weather has broken in PA. It has here - we've had crazy rain and thunderstorms since last night.
I'm going to go check out Ivy's blog now! I don't know how I'm going to keep up with all these blogs, but I love it!
