Tackled the greenhouse this morning and put straps on the water pipes. Also put a shade on the vent thermostat ot keep the sun off it. Removed the last of the Mondo grass and started cutting bench legs for the next bench. The Orchids are getting burned so Libbie and I put the shade up inside the greenhouse on the deadman shading the orchids on the Southernmost bench. Yesterday I ordered the shade for the tops. In the afternoon I resumed reading 20000 leagues under the sea. I never read this book by Jules Verne before. It's quite good. Dinner was Scallops and brown rice with Chardonnay. Went over to Krogers in the evening to get an apple turnover for desert.
