Dianne, when I got up this morning at 8 I said, Hey Google \"Good Morning \". The current temperature is 99f. Our high today is suppose to be 109. I walked the dogs at 9 but it was already to hot. We will go for a longer walk after the sun has gone down. We are in a high heat temporary system and wind will move in tomorrow with temps in the 90s but with the wind, it will just dry everything out.

I discovered a bed yesterday that has been over run with a nasty ground hugging weed. I have been so busy doing other areas of the garden, didn\'t pay attention. Now I have a major, probably an hour, job ahead of me. I thought I had laid per-emmergent in the bed, but obviously not. I will take a photo before I start. I still have the one large germanium to dead head. Went to do it this morning but it was already in full sun.

Betty, rats and mice are death on electrical wires in pool heaters, and air conditioning. They get in there and chew the wires. A neighbor up the street got a family of rats in his attic and they chewed all of the wiring in his attic.

Marilyn, I know how difficult gardening is and Lorna is a jewel for continuing but I do understand why she does so.

Susan, I think your wind was happy but I am not sure. Lingo I am not used to.

Peanut spilled my Diet Pepsi again last night but knocked the whole glass off the table and I had a major mess to clean up. Guess I am going to find a different place for my glass.

Betty, do you have Next Door there. It is used in the USA and it is for your immediate neighborhood. It alerts your neighbors if you are looking for something that the stores do not have. I bet someone in your area has a bunch of elastic they are not using.

Good will here has been over run with donations because of all the individuals cleaning. My neighbor cleaned out her walk in pantry and said she could not believe how much she found that was way to old to eat.

My daughter made her Costco trip today and was putting groceries away. She said, what happened to all of your food. Did someone throw it away.My answer, \" No, just don\'t eat that much anymore and rarely make anything big enough for left overs\".

She and her husband Kris are heading to St. Louis, MO to see my granddaughter and her new baby. They will be there for a week.

My son, Todd, is finally back from Kuwait. He is in quarantine for 2 weeks and will be able to return to him home either June 8th or 9th. Been gone for 5 months. His family is ready for him to be home.

Photo is a spider plant that is growing outside in a pot. They grow like a weed. I have none growing unless in pots or hanging baskets. And they are on irrigation. They stay outside year round.
