77 degrees at 9am with a 15% chance of Rain. We've been in a real dry spot this summer..


 Today's index card is looking a bit dry as well.  And tired. Like Summer in Maine.

1.  I am up early, showered and wearing clean clothing....I need to do a load of laundry at some point but no worries as the closet is packed with things to wear. And almost all of it fits...some very loose and others just right.  I think I got rid of the "not ever gonna fit"....but the closet is still really full.

2.  My Landscaping Daughter (one more thing we have in common Connie) stopped by with three books in a series that I wanted....no Library in Maine has the books in their collections.  I offered her a BLT and after eating it she said it had been the "best thing" she has eaten in a while.  Soft white bread, mayo, bacon and tomato....does NOT get better than that.  I tucked in a bit of Romaine.....for color.

3. Son worked on my leaky garden hose and spray nozzles.   We tried every one of them... we also tried the sprinklers...everything leaked...  I now have a high tech head (we found on husband's workbench) on the hose and was instructed in how to use it....I recall needing to twist the top to the right.  I could be mistaken. I could end up soaking wet. Everything leaks cause the connection on the hose is bent...I need a new hose.  Gonna see if they have a nice one at the Grocery Store tomorrow.  A Candy Cane Stripe would be nice so I don't mistake a snake for the hose.

4.  If they come to cut the grass today- as usual- there really hasn't been any growth on the yellowish lawn out front- the backyard gets some shade from the big tree so it's mostly nice green grass out there.

5. Continuing with the less than interesting news.. I finished Boardwalk Bookstore before going to bed (excellent book). I had also watched about 10 minutes of Match Game....before returning to the book.

6.  Well, I am very very hungry so I need to eat....read the paper- use the heavy black marker if they have images of you know who.......try the Sudoko.........uncover the ornamentals.....(never before eating)

7.  Forgot to tell you- I was taking the netting off the big container and squeezed the netting and an insect stung my finger.....now I know to shake the netting before bunching it up.
