We did, we actually got a beautiful summer day!!!!!! It was cool last night and I actually breathed fresh air. This morning I went outside and trimmed for awhile and then the neighbors came and talked to me for a half hour.... better than trimming. They will be moving now the 12th of August... How will I ever find out what is going on in the neighborhood without them telling me I wonder... It seems in their daily walks etc they find out everyones business.... including ours too I guess. Everyone knows about everyone else in our neighborhood now.... when they move and the other 3 neighbors on the block move it will be a big change....
Well anyway I trimmed and I could see some improvement too ~ also have a lot more to go but I filled the barrel I had so that was my limit I guess.... Oh, I got stung by a bee while working in the flowers too..guess what I did... after I yelled ouch.... I spit on it and then rubbed some dirt on it and the pain went away... It got swollen just a little and then Leo said the druggist told Shari to rub a credit card over it to get the stinger out... so he gave me a credit card and I did... now I can't see the bee sting any more but it was on the inside of my elbow and its tender there so my skin is a little red there.... More fun, huh?
Tomorrow it will be back to watering and HOT weather. supposed to get to 90 again and by Sunday I heard 97..... say it isn't so... Maybe we will get some rain between now and then too... Just a little each day for awhile would help. Last year my tomatoes didn't ripen because of too much rain and this year I water but that sure isn't the same as rain. After I weeded I got the mail and a bill was there( naturally) so I did my bills right away and went to the bank and then it was already lunch time. So I ate ( of coarse) and then read in my book for awhile and read emails etc etc etc and then we went to Fleet Farm to get a cotton ball for the finches... they used all that was left today. It says they will nest around here until the middle of August... I hope they are happy with their new cotton ball.... made the trip with Leo just for them. Also picked up a green cord for the new hose reel we got.... Ordered from qvc.... :) it has the hose in and it winds itself up.... Ours is soheavy and Im always complaining so we are going to try this one out. If I like it I will also get one for the front if they come in again this year... they sold out the day I bought mine. I sure hope it works as well as the lady said ( the one that called in) it also looked good on the show... even Leo said so... I hope he's right...
Leo took that bike back today. the gears kept slipping and it was a bit hard to control and he couldn't see what was coming in back ... guess he is going to put a mirror on his new bike... He got a regular bike this time .... the other one you had to pedal with your feet stretched out and he couldn't get used to that. I asked him why he didn't get a motor bike and he said how would I get my exercise that way... So he is keeping himself in good shape. I should learn from him I guess.
So thats been my nice day... it got a little warmer than expected and had to put the air on later this afternoon but it was nice while it lasted.
Hope your day was nice and we all get a bunch more like this before fall comes, Sandra
