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.
