I went to check those iris buds I took a photo of yesterday morning to see if any were blooming & got a big surprise. All of them had apparently bloomed later in the day yesterday, probably when it got hotter. They are all shriveled up today & the shriveled flower from yesterday has fallen off cleanly like the one I thought was nipped off by a slug or snail. Sorry snails & slugs for making you out to be the bad guys! It was just Mother Nature!
I went to Sunshine True Value Hardware today; Saturdays are Senior Discount day. I needed to pick up a quart of brown paint to match the exterior doors for Chris. He will be building me a plantation-style door with a movable panel that covers a screened area that lets breezes in. I was unable to find a color chip that matched it, so Bill put it on their color matching machine & mixed up a quart. The color match was uncanny! Can you tell where he put the test patch on this piece below? (Answer in tomorrow's post.)
I also asked them about carrying the Terro Garbage Guard, the one I ordered from Amazon came in yesterday & I immediately attached it to the lid of Moʻo's puppy poop rubbish can. It will last for 4 months, but I decided to start asking now so it will be in by the time I need it. Sunshine does not carry it & Bill said he had never seen it before, but he will look in to it.
I took photos of the ice plant flowers; the light pink, pink, & purple are in bloom right now. The pink & purple look almost alike, but the "purple" is a little more "neon" than the pink. The color does not seem to have intensified with more sun exposure like the light pink flower did.

Just after lunch I got another email from Lowe's about picking up the heater. But they have now changed they date I need to pick it up by; it is now the 19th! They said if I don't pick it up by the 19th, they will send it back! Auē! So I called & after being given the runaround I was finally able to have someone say they will make a note that I will pick it up on the 20th.
Have you ever noticed how much animals sleep? All the cats & Moʻo spend a lot of time sleeping. Both during the day & at night. Here is ferocious watchdog Moʻo conserving her energy so she can let people with bad intentions know she will make a lot of noise! (I have never heard her growl at anyone but I have seen her bark a lot with her hackles up.)
The eruption at Kīlauea is still on pause. The potential window for the next phase has now been amended to be sometime over the next 1 to 4 days.
