Perfect ending Deb. Just like a Hallmark movie. I, like Betty, fee like I got the new job instead of you. It is just nice that something positive is happening to someone.

It was hot here today but not as hot as Linda. There was a light breeze so it made it tolerable. I did clean my KOI pond after back washing the filter. I put the hose in the bottom of the pod, with a sprayer attached and stirred up all of the debris that might be hiding under the big boulders and then skimmed it. It should look marvelous tomorrow. I hand water some pots before I cleaned up all of the sumac leaves. I actually got in my car and left the neighborhood. I needed to go to the bank. I used the outside ATM.

Betty, it was so nice of your friends to come cut some branches. They probably knew if they didn\'t do it you would. Having those workers eat in your back landscape will come back at you two fold. You will never know until it happens but they will be driving by one day and they will see you doing something an older lady should not be doing and they will stop and help.

I was watching a blog on Instagram today and discovered I have been dead heading dahlias wrong all of these years. So tomorrow I will go, when in the shade and finish the job. You deadhead dahlias just about the same as geraniums. I was just pinching off the dried up bloom.

Pat, you have been quiet. So has Susan. What are you two up to besides no good. Karen are you doing anything exciting. I tell my sister, we are living Groundhog Day every day. Same thing every day but I am OK with that.

I need to head to bed because I have a busy day tomorrow gardening.

First photo

Linda, difference between your and my heat was I was 106 with 2% humidity and you were 108 with 55% humidity. But you probably have lovely skin.

First photo is sumac leaves on the patio. This is one days worth. Third photo is the garden area covered. Second and forth photos are cleaned up and fifth photo is my handy rechargeable battery operated blower. I have two batteries because one is not enough. I have two large sumacs in the back and a very large one in the front. Hopefully they are just about done dumping leaves.
