Granny's gone and done it again

106° here earlier today. Just oppressive heat. Really glad I spent so much time watering yesterday. Too hot to be working out there, so I am going to nap.

Doing well, thanks. Made a saline solution and put it in a spray bottle, cleaned the wound by spraying it thoroughly. Much easier on her than washing it as I was trying to, gently with a soaked paper towel! Blotted it gently dry then coated with Neosporin. The Man helps by holding her. She is not nearly so passive about it as she was the first few days, lol! I see that as a good sign. She does not act like we are hurting her, only like she does not want to be restrained. Gave her tomatoes last night when we had turkey BLTs. She liked that.

Sounds good!

It is awful here also, air quality awful, lots of smoke. The air is just dead.

Same here. I think there was a fire farther north.

We are expecting a heat index of 105 tomorrow. I don't know when we might get rain. I like to water my two outdoor hanging plants and few indoor ones with rain water because our well water is high in minerals, or else with water captured from the dehumidifier in the basement ... But there isn't enough of either to keep them all damp. They don't like well water. On a happier note, the surprise lilies are starting to bloom. Aka "naked ladies." Or resurrection lilies. I'm pretty sure they have other names as well.

today was awful. Everything that could go wrong, went wrong. It was unbelievably stressful.

You have been baptized by fire and survived. Anything else that comes your way will be a cake walk in comparison.

Evening Granny, everybody. Jane, I am envying you your peas! Been years since I have had fresh-from-the-garden peas! There is nothing like them. Except maybe corn.
