This has been a very busy month, week, summer! Something going on all the time it seems, except my energy. A surprise cool down this week for us and many others for July. Records broken for low temperatures and it has felt like Fall for a couple of days and downright cold on a couple of mornings. This morning is cool but not cold and can't see my breath. Rain may be headed our way and I need to mow. IF it doesn't rain today I plan to mow tonight. The flowers are loving this cool surprise and the veggies are too. Still no ripe tomatoes but lots of green ones that are growing. Harvested several cucumbers and more coming on so looks like my cucumber in a bucket is working out really nice this year. Have two in buckets actually but one is a bit slower and much smaller but that is fine. It will either do ok or not.
Hummers are still gracing my feeders and keeping the feeders full keeps most every other or every 3d evening making nector and refilling the feeders.
The urge, need, want to retire is flying high right now. Maybe I should put a plea on FB for donations to finish paying off my house so I can retire. I've read incredable stories how people donate to causes such as that and other pleas. lol
I have used my time allotment for writing this AM so must get ready and head for the last work day this week. I am hoping this is a quiet day so I can get some projects finished. *sigh
Take care and God Bless and have a wonderful weekend!!

After a cooler week, we are gearing up for ten days in the 90's. Just doesn't seem like we have any "normal" days this year.

I'd take a donor to pay off David's house. He is upside down in the loan so it may never get paid off. I just wrote my first check for Medicare B payment. I guess I will be on it officially Aug 1. My that made me feel old.

Trying to grow cucumbers in one huge flowerpot, myself. After I added some soil to it, they went into shock. Sigh. Just experimenting.. 🌱
