Garden update:  The mint continues to go crazy (I need to drink more mojitos).  Pretty sure the basil is doomed.  The two purchased tomato plants are growing nicely - blossoms on both and I even spotted one tomato yesterday.  The grown from seed ones... well, three of them are still alive, but still only about 3" tall.  The pepper plants are not only alive but look happy, even though they too are only a couple of inches tall.

Rest of the yard update:  I'm glad I got moving and mowed last night as it is raining again today.  Hopefully I can finish the weed eating this weekend (the battery didn't last long enough to finish it all last night).  The swing set is set for delivery on June 7th, so I fully expect it to continue raining until then.

One of the mourning doves has fledged.  The other, as I read online is typical, is being stubborn and hasn't left the nest yet.  I was blessed to see the first guy down in the grass a few days ago.

I was correct that the pest company would simply dust the holes for the eff'n carpenter bees.  So far I haven't spotted others flying around, but I remain on watch.

Shoulder update:  On Monday the ortho/doctor indicated I could drop off to 1 or 2 times a week with physical therapy, so I cancelled my Wednesday appointment.  We'll see how this afternoon goes with 4 days between visits.
