Need More Time!

I have mostly finished all the things I wanted to get done on my days off.  Although the normal stuff comes round again and has to be done yet again like laundry.
I painted the studio, shampooed all the carpeting, I still need to vacuum the house and clean the dining room and kitchen floors but I've gotten most of the little projects done that I wanted to do and a bit of sewing done, to boot.  I go back to work on Tuesday for two days then have 3 off.  What a life! :)
The rain has made it cooler and I think it is done now, but it is very humid now.  Swamp coolers were not made for humidity but can't justify an A/C unit at all!
I took the trash out while ago and heard a funny noise coming from the tree.  Millions of flying ants are in the top tree branches and flying out of the tree.  The ones that hit something are in a pile under the tree.  Totally weird.  I called Steve out to see and we spent a short while watching them.  I'm glad they have a very short life.
My good news is I have had bugs on my squash and I have put neem oil on them, and I think all the rain washed it away but I've been seeing lady bug larvae on the garden and left it all alone.  I now have ladybugs all over the garden plants and they are taking care of my bug problem.  They have impeccable timing and it looks like my squash might survive.  Now I need to do some weeding and the cucumbers seem to be taking over one end of the garden.  Didn't I learn last year with the pumpkin?  Guess not!
I did make the Refrigerator pickles that had a recipe floating around Facebook and they are pretty good.  I can chew them with my new teeth if I take my time.  Yep, I got my teeth, they have had to have an adjustment or two and may still need one but at least they are not rubbing a sore any more.  Bet I go off at the airport! :)  There is a lot of metal in my mouth.
