Morning all. At least here on the west coast.

I admire people who plan ahead for what life will surely bring. I’m such a procrastinator that nothing ever gets done except in my head. Once I’ve decided to take care of an important issue I feel better immmediately..not saying I got it done..just decided to do it. Whew! What a load off my mind. 🙂

Got in over a mile walking today and came home to remove an old sprinkler hose from the flower bed and replace it with a soaker hose. I’m sure the flowers will be much happier and I know the weeds will. Everything here is so stressed with the heat that not much is blooming except for some crazy zinnias that seeded on their own. Last year I scattered mixed seeds and nothing really came up. Then in a totally different place a zinnia popped up and got about two feet tall. That one is gone but in the other end about 15 feet away another popped up and is about 3 feet tall. I now have 3 all in odd places..not planted. They and the vinca flowers are about all that are blooming. The vinca vine is pale an not flowering. I think everything is like me…sick of the heat and way over it. Enough already.

Shelley, hope your trip is fantastic…I’d like to see pictures from all you travelers.

Took two bags of clothes (mostly DD’s) to GW the other day and at least got my trunk empty. The garage needs thinning out again. It just never ends. Told GS yesterday (we both have just enough room to park in our garages) not to leave his Flex out overnight because things will creep into his empty spot and he won’t be able to get back in. I know from experience. Nature abhors a vacuum and so do garages.

Guess I should pry myself out of this chair and make a swipe at my worn out self. I need a maid, a cook, a laundry service, a gardener and a pool boy. Oh rats! I don’t have a pool. (Grin)
