Hello all, Today I need to clean and mop.....and do some baking in the afternoon. We are getting showers, not enough to wet anything but enough to stir the mosquitoes. lol

Ugh! Mosquitoes. That is one blessing to desert living. They are few and far between here.

Yes Sunny is right. We must learn to be thankful for the little things. Even if they are not so little.

Oh, it's not that there is never skeeters here. And we have such long, hospitable seasons for them. But it is easier to make it inhospitable to them in reality. John and I went regularly to the putrid, abandoned pool next door to dump in bleach and kept anything emptied of accumulated rainwater around here. There are few streams or drainage ditches, ect. Some feeder fish in our pond put an end to their designs on that. So with little work they are gone.

I am glad the mosquitos are not a problem for you now.

I just worry because we get this odd day of extreme heat between the cool weather and it always brings a thunderstorm...the morning wasn't too bad but it is supposed to hit around supper time now once again.

I am debating spraying myself down with 'Avon~skin so soft' and fighting the flies to get some work done outdoors.

The storm passed over with just heavy rain. I am hopeful it will dry off by this afternoon so I can get a start on the dandelions.

We are desperate for rain. It was 98 (or close to it) yesterday with no breeze in site and gnats are horrible. Grass is already brown and crunchy.

Tina, I like a dandelion lawn too. To me, it's a happy lawn.

The dandelions do look pretty but GB is allergic to their pollen, his two eyes are all swollen....he is living on allergy medicine right now.

Lawn is cut but the weed wacker won't work, there is always something breaking down here.

Allergies bother us here more than they did in Illinois. But oh well, I guess we will adjust sooner or later. So sorry for GB, Sunny.

How did you figure out it's a dandelion allergy? Wonder if it's whats got Shelley's eyes messed up. Never thought about dandelions.

Dandelions are the first thing to bloom here. When GB was about 9 months old, DD sat him in a field of dandelions to take pics....within a half hour he started showing allergy symptoms. The Nurse Practitioner confirmed it by treating him then telling her to try the 'pic' session again(it happened once more).....every year his eyes start to run and swell at this time and will clear up in a week after they are done blooming. He lives on allergy meds in the spring now.

When he is older they will do a 'scratch test'...my father had bad allergies to everything, I hope it is not the case for him as well.

I tore apart my weed wacker to find the plastic cog that holds the rope in pieces. Today will be a long day of trying to find a replacement piece. We have had no luck in fixing things lately.

Oh my, I hope your repair goes well, Sunny.

Yes, I was desperate to find what my eldest son was allergic to. We were in the ER constantly with bad reactions. I got him scratch tested and it turned out that he was allergic to everything, except food. The allergist designed a series of shots for him and he was done after 3 of them. Done. Fixed. Cured. I felt like Jesus came and laid hands on him.

Well, they don't make that part anymore but I could 'try' a different one for $46. At the rate it is going, it is just as well to get another weed wacker because I can't return the part that I am supposed to 'try' fix it with. I am waiting for other places to call me...I could not find the part online either.

Remember the old days when fixing things was easy? Nothing is made to last at all.

Ugh, Sunny. I know that pain. Getting a new part for an old machine seems like a drag. But if i will last as long as the first, it will be worth it. The newer stuff seems to have a shorter 'built-in-obsolescence in it. Almost everything seems to be disposable now.

Oh yes, you are right. Nothing is built to last very long at all. And I agree they DO NOT want you to repair it either. Just go out and buy new..like we are all of us made of money.

The lids have their last T- Ball game tonight. IF the ball diamond is not all mud.
But so far so good.

I agree Tina. I am not giving up on finding the part just yet. My mother bought a new battery powered weed wacker last week, she was fed up of her electric one breaking strings. I can borrow the old one she has for a bit....we have lots of extension cords.

I have been sorting through some old lumber to make a birdhouse planter. If DH asks where the two old 1X6's are....you don't know a thing. lol
