Karen, cross post. I sent it because I did not want to lose it.

I am getting ready to go inside. Every time Betty says something about mowing her grass, I get tired. I can garden for hours but mowing grass is a thankless task.

I came outside last evening early, around 7pm, and cutback some roses and crinium. The sun is behind the mountains by that time but still plenty of light to work in the garden. Tomorrow I am going to plat some lettuce, spinach and green beans. Winter vegs here. I should get a few good pots of beans before they freeze but the lettuce will grown all winter. I just need to remember I am planting for a few and not an army.

I saw the photo on Facebook and thought of Linda.

My son lives in Spokane and is an Internist. He is being over run with patients with breathing problems because of the smoke from the fires. He says his eyes are burning all of the time. They are actually asking for volunteers to help with the fires. We are getting some of the smoke all the way down here in the furthest southern part of Nevada.

Had sad news when I got back from California. One of my loan officers that worked for me over 15 years died from leukemia. He was in his mid 50s and had been battling it for 3 years. Had a bone marrow transplant and they thought he had licked it. Then all of a sudden he got really sick, they rushed him to Scripps and he died there. He was married to a good friend of mine. She is my age. No fair. Young husband and he dies.

Betty, Roger's Garden in Newport Beach, CA has some beautiful granite slab fountains. If you sold your car you might have enough money to buy one. They are beautiful but I could not believe the prices.

Katie, hope all is well with you.

Susan, there are some pretty sophisticated space heaters manufactured these days. Little pricey but probably cheaper than installing a separate heating unit for downstairs. But the owner should pay for them, not you. You have got yourself in quite a mess and not going to be easy with the landlord living above you.

I cannot believe you guys are getting cooler weather. We are still close to 100 degrees. Should be cooling down in about a week.

Hugs to you all. Sorry I got so far behind. I will try to stay more current.

But one thing good did come from my visit, I looked real good to Vern when I got back. There are many things I do for him, he did not even know about until I was not there to do it.
