August is here and summer has actually begun..I think we had 26 days of rain in July..not sure exactly but it felt like precipitation every day..8 inches in total. Never had to water the lawn or flowers...we have had 2 days of sunshine now and the vines that were yellow are starting to shoot up green and strong (morning glory and Mandevilla) on the back porch over the trellis's. I will take a picture when there is something to see. We planted Zuchinni back in May and they are just now producing fruit. I missed one and it grew to 15 inches long and too big/stringy to use in food. We will use it to make Zuchinni bread. Bugs Bugs..hated to do it but I resorted to bug Sevin Granules...the carpenter ants were everywhere and eating my deck and framed house..cost 2000 to replace 3 feet of lath and joists and clapboards on the back porch..the foundation sill was completly gone and joists were hanging in mid air.
But that's all fixed now and summer is here..beautiful 78 degrees yesterday and more of the same today...I may get to do some outside painting if we have 1 more day of sunshine and 2-3 days predicted after I paint....
Time to finish cooking...off the Kitchen, Sherry is off today
