I apparently am not the only person who has had my nose stuck in a book or two lately. Webster read 13 books the past two months and gives her book reviews here. Nice. Although, I have missed her witty posts – you know the pithy ones LOL.
I have been keeping busy planting and tending my garden. The Lemon Cucumbers are gonna take over the yard. My peppers, eggplant, tomato’s, and sage are hanging in there also. The flowers are looking spiffy and Catfish and Annie are enjoying the smells.
The painting is going – slow but I am getting it done and the room I am in now is finished save the hanging of the pictures etc.
I am going nuts trying to figure out how to get the comments button/selector a bit more noticeable but so far I have not found the right css code UGH this theme has way to many css files LOL I might just end up making the little bubble icons brighter but first I have to decide on a color scheme and new header.
Catfish is snoozing at my feet. He really likes the new carpet – I am thinking it is because the only doggy smells on it are his. Annie stays out of the room for some reason. One room to go and then I am calling the carpet folks to do the stairway and landings. Our friend hooked us up with a guy who does work all the time for their company so we are getting a deal.
The illegal fireworks are flying all over the place outside, lots of loud booms and bangs, loud music full of bass, and some hooping and hollering too – such is life around here.
No underwear found in the garden bed as of late and no new flooding. The Code Enforcement folks have a couple cases on the books for the place next door. I heard the slum lord arguing with the City Code person – cheap entertainment because his usual lines of crap did not work. We have been running a very large fan most of the week and leaving the downstairs windows open to help (hopefully) dry the common wall out. Hope the city follows up as the told me they were going to dry the place out next door – umm we shall see.
Well, off the read and hopefully fall fast asleep.
Lemon cucumbers are the best. A good part of your life sounds normal — painting, gardening, reading.
For the part that’s not normal, here’s some wishes…
Here’s hopes that the slumlord guy, evil and corrupt,
be caught in spite of being ever so sly.
Wishes for you and yours to have safety as the fireworks erupt,
and, always always, may your walls be oh so bone dry.
Not sure what got into me. I’ll play the mildly brain injured card 🙂

Normal what is normal LOL
The cucumbers are growing like mutants this year – the plants anyways. The numerous blossoms have yet to produce but the plants have not reached a mature enough stage yet. Gosh they are only 30 days old and humongous this year.
The fireworks were pretty, most illegal but hey they were fun to watch. I left the garden hose out front just in case and thankfully we did not need it this year.
Walls are drying out on this side – but no bones in there I hope ha hahha
Oh, the pic was beautiful and intriguing. Took a brief look at your Flickr photos. Think I’ll take an afternoon to get lost in those one of these days!
Thank you
