On the positive side, it's supposed to rain tomorrow.

BTDT last week. Sorry. I know it's miserable.

Your flowers are lovely!!!

Thank you! It's neat to see how they seem to change, different wildflowers pop up every week so it doesn't even look like the same garden week to week.

Cinnamon milk: 2 tsp cinnamon, 1 c milk,1 c water. Mix and strain into a spray bottle. It treats powdery mildew and black spots.

Wow good to know. My Peonies seem to get that condition. And it sounds delicious , I'd be taking a few sips Lol

Today I was weeding, and making GREAT progress. Then something crawled down my lower back and I yelped and swiped. It was still there, so I was peeling off my sweat-stuck pants and shirt to get it out. I was afraid it was a yellow jacket, as I've seen them around.

I think it was a deer fly, or maybe a regular fly. Not a yellow jacket as that would have been a scream worthy event, not just a yelp.

Even if the neighbor had been in the front yard, I was screened by lots of trees and bushes. At that moment, I didn't care, I just had to get the bug off me.

I've taken pants off so the world could've seen what color undies I was wearing but hey, that fire ant had to go! Little jerk was inside my jeans, on back of my leg, back side of knee, stung me good when I kneeled down.

I have a banana every morning (well, M-F), so I would love to know what else I could do with them besides just put them in the compost!
If you find out what they're good for, please let me know...

I think banana water is good for lots of things, I've watered sorry looking house plants & they perked up within an hour, looked great in 2 weeks.

If asked, I would just say I'm wearing my two piece bathing suit. Hanes brand.

Actually I do wear Hanes as they're 100% cotton & they do come in nice bright colors.

Sounds like a good drink just for maybe at night and early morning.

I have found some styles of Skechers the best fit for my feet. When I last bought sneakers I got three pairs, put the extras in the closet. Last year I found the exact same model number online, good price, ordered two pairs. Now I have enough sneakers for several years!

And now I don't have to try on 20 pairs in the store before finding some that fit!

I just saw they have sandals too.

Most of my tomatoes are sunscalded.... My own fault because I never put up the shade cloth. I pruned everything back, gave them some food, and plan to get up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to weed and put up the shade cloth.

I'm also going to pull out the corn and cukes and replant more corn and some pole beans in the morning.
