From the above Post--where you say: "The B&B bucks"-does that mean your B&B business is up and running????
I missed a whole month of daily communications on here, so, if it was discussed--I have NO clue! ARE you now the proud owner of a B&B? If yes--How is it going?

Hot---Hot---Hot--here all week..in the mid-upper 90's. I have 2 sprinklers going at this time. One front--one back. Hand-watered all the rest. I HATE when the gardens get no relief from this kind of weather! Everything suffers....

Went to the Good-Will store today and found a pair of black, suade shoes with a small, stacked heel. Good brand--"Talbot's"--paid $3.20 for them. Will be good to wear in the winter months when I need to dress up "just a bit".....

Other than that--not much new. Started back to work this past Tuesday. Also worked Thursday and have to work tomorrow-Saturday. S-L-O-W on the phones.....too hot! No one is shopping a whole lot either. The Gardening season is over----Patio sets are now on Clearance for 40% off. By end of August--fireplaces and snow blowers will be out on the floor. Also all kinds of other cold-weather stuff.
The SMART shopper will buy whatever they need for the winter right as everything gets put out. So many people wait for the first snow storm--in like January-- and then come looking for a snow blower. HA! The fools!
By the end of February--all the seasonal stuff is already coming in--the patio sets, chairs, etc. Snowblowers and heaters are "out of season".

AHHHH! The crazy world of retail!!!!!

Keep picking about this many tomatoes every day now. They are going bonkers! I only have 6 plants.
Giving most of them away at work and to friends. The B-I-G question remains..............................
WHY DO I EVEN GROW THEM???????? I only eat about 20% of what i grow.
