No water? Egad, that is a problem. I hope it's squared away by now. You're leaving already, wow, time flies. We just got home. I look at the alleged yard and all I see is stuff that needs doing. One thing at a time. I deadheaded a stand of flowers (still don't know what they are, but they sure needed a haircut), broke into a sweat and said, ok, all done, I quit. We can only work in the morning. Canning tomatoes is next, whether I have the energy or not. We were so chilled in Iceland, and coming back to 90+ heat is obnoxious. Well, that's my rant answering your rant. So be it. (you have someone coming to stay in your house?) I hope your cross-country trip is The Best Ever. Love to you both.Nickie and Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11566506168550004304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915357815051575646.post-2741723194192515242022-08-12T11:01:28.187-07:002022-08-12T11:01:28.187-07:00Me too and you too! :-)Me too and you too! :-)Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915357815051575646.post-24230174751408386082022-08-12T09:06:37.415-07:002022-08-12T09:06:37.415-07:00This made me laugh out loud, Loree.

And then the marigolds: yeah, mine are all lacy and chlorotic and weird, well not all of them, but just some of them in part of the flower bed. Hope you are adjusting to the loss of your sweet girl. No matter how long we have them, it is always too soon to lose them.Sue Malonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332448503740101970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915357815051575646.post-31345792035326528372022-08-12T09:04:02.146-07:002022-08-12T09:04:02.146-07:00Love it when my daughters and close friends actual...Love it when my daughters and close friends actually read the blog, and then take time to comment.

Never had that happen before, got to my zucchini too, same thing, i used a spray at 1st and did not work. ... AND i heard that chewed up juicy fruit gum, stuck in those mole holes works ( don't know.. we had a critter under our porch once and i did that, and never had a problem after that?? but maybe it didn't like us and moved on, who knows) they eat it, then are all gummed up and die i guess, as can't eat anything else, as they don't know how to chew gum.. anyway, what i heard....Luci & Loreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05532319517164921110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915357815051575646.post-65834818639932480032022-08-11T19:47:06.788-07:002022-08-11T19:47:06.788-07:00Oh my, I am exhausted just reading this.

I'm retired from everything. So sorry to hear about your legs. Getting older seems to be one loss after another. You have a great attitude about the bike.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915357815051575646.post-30484291120165731592022-08-11T18:44:19.019-07:002022-08-11T18:44:19.019-07:00Lovely summer ramblings.

So far we don't have water problems but that's not to say we couldn't! It's hard isn't it to have physical issues which keep us from doing things we like to do. I hope there are no more problems at home and that you guys have a wonderful trip!

Yet I know it's a lot of work/enjoyment to maintain. Since RV living, I figure landscaping is what is there when I get there. This trip is going to be great. Thanks for the ramble.Gaelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05784162697113288888noreply@blogger.com
