Diane, Diesel knows his own pace, just like Betty. NOT. So sorry about your vertigo. I got that several times and and went to physical therapy for it. Took several months but they did get rid of it. It was kind of like voodoo but it worked.

Wind blew here like the devil. But it has brought in colder weather. Yesterday was 107, tomorrow will be 85. I can do a lot of gardening in 83 degrees. And I will have a lot of clean up to do. And my cannas are in bloom on very long stems. I will have to stake them tomorrow.

Betty, how is your weather? Anymore rain coming. If I was you, I would be in front of someone regarding that drain area, with photos and demand a concrete side that will not wash down and block the drain. Can they divert the water. We have many flood basins in Las Vegas. We do not get much rain, but when we do, it is always a flood. You should not have to worry about your home getting flooded every time it rains.

I am staying home because the virus has raised it\'s ugly head. My great-granddaughter is coming for a visit next Tuesday. Flying to Vegas, driving to Newport, Ca to see his parents and then drive back 5 days later and visit in Las Vegas for 5 days then return to St. Louis. My daughter is beside herself with joy just waiting for their arrival.

I walked the front garden this morning and found a few areas that can use my help and with lower temps, it will be doable. I am also working with the HOA landscape crew, painting and stucco repair crews and we are redoing the guard house, then starting at the front entrance and going all the way down to the golf course. Refreshing all that is owned by the HOA. I can manage it, but do not have to use any muscle, just time. So it keeps me from going crazy staying home.

I have a new boyfriend. His name is Leo. He is 2 years old and thinks I am just the cat\'s meow. His eyes twinkle when he sees me and I get such a great big smile. His mom and dad cannot figure it out but they are happy about it.

First photo is sunflower type flower that return every year. Funny thing is I never planted it. It was planted by a bird. Second photo is geranium that is over 5 years old. This year I removed it from the pot, totally rehabbed the pot and replanted. My garden helper was sure I had killed it. I then fed it rose food with an insecticide to control the small cabbage worms. Imagine y surprise when that fertilizer is like a magic wand and the crazy plant has outproduced itself. This is it\'s third flush. Third photo is a hardy hibiscus my father gave me in 1981. He got it as a gift from Burpee with an order. The forth photo is another hardy hibiscus. They can take a freeze so you guys should be able to grow them.
