Daily Notes-- July 25

Image is from a magazine I think, years ago.

Over cast.  Clouds with a chance of rain.  I managed to get a few mosquito bites while out checking the cucumber plants for squash bugs--I found one with stripes.  First time, ever.

Very noisy here this morning.  The neighbor on my right (facing street) has a company here to cut down and chip trees.  I don't think any of the trees being cut down are on his property.  Abutting but not belonging to him.  A lawyer.  It's the private property of a local doctor.  The cutting is not being done on the sides of his property that touch ours.  Now---that would be interesting.

I have to go out shopping.  I need mouthwash and bagels.  Two things. Not that I will be coming back home with only TWO things.  And there is a book for G at the library so I want to go pick that up as well.

I did some planting and tinkering in the garden this morning--with bug spray on myself.  I forgot and rubbed my lips with my arm and....well, that was a very bad thing to do.

I have a whole bag of beautiful zucchini right now--most mine and two from yesterday's lunch visit with my friend.  Need to think of something to make.  Use them up.  We don't need pickles.
