Hello friends - Well here it is the first day after vacation - getting adjusted to being back in the "normal swing of things." We were up b4 6am and Sandy was off to work at her usual time... As for me, I got to play with the dogs and cats.....do the vacation wash.....cut some flowers and pull off some tomatoes......finish my book....now I have a text book to read for the fall semester, ugh.

The highlight of my day so far was changing the Japanese Beetle bags..... I had put the traps out before we left on vacation and they were almost full of dead Japanese Beetles, rotted and rotting Japanese Beetles and covered with flies - flies love rotting things..... Don't worry, I do not have have any images and would not download them if I did...




I wore my new shoes all day today, breaking them in.....



Sandy just got home... she is leaving again for a meeting of her professional organization... I am home alone........ I will try to not get into trouble... but with those snazzy shoes, it might be difficult.... She'll be home in a bit for dinner..........

Bye for now..........and

May the road rise up to meet you;
May the wind be always at your back;
May the sun shine warm upon your back,
The rain fall softly on your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
