Hi to all--not much going on here..weeding, watering and walking. We had no rain for several more weeks, and some extra hot weather. the flowers and shrubs are suffering, even the trees. Now there've been a few rains, thank goodness. One thing about the dryness, few bugs, and almost No mosquitos, yay! I have not had to cover all up and wear a net hat in the back yard at all. the big tree take down probably helped some with that. In spite of the concerns about the bee population, I have had plenty of bees around, and did not put in special plants for them.
The neighbor got three black chickens, so elegant, and very cute pecking around and dust bathing when they let them out. They are named Axl, Slash, and Izzy after members of Guns n Roses rock band. I watered neighbor's small garden while they were in Italy (before the chickens)--they saw Guns n Roses while they were there.
Good to here from Laurie (wellingtonct) , sad about the passing of Elaine, may she rest in peace. Hope your move works out well Beth, I sympathize on having to only keep some of the treasures you have. (and on all the work!) Hope Patsy has a great trip with her sister. June--I may give Cussler a try again we need some variety in our reading.
Jim--I gave Edge Bing AI a try on finding some info on products I was interested in. It was a better response (shorter and more focussed) than google's big page of ads, info from ads and sometime completely irrelevant items
Diane--hope it's a good trip. Hi to Gail, Jane, and Lynne!
