Won't Be Long Now...

Labor Day is on the way fast, one more week! Got a bit of company outside this week-end, the loud one with the big boat, 3 trucks, rap- blasting and skateboarding teen-agers, and barking dogs. (Which are tied so the husky pees on my stairs, which I have to wash PU n thrills me to no end). I've been very allergic to the pollen lately. Was gonna head to the beach today until some one outside decided to mow the lawn, so I had to close the windows (like over 80 degrees) and doors and wait an hour roastin up a sweat... then got a big head-ache n said Never Mind, maybe tomorrow... Maybe it'll stay warm for a few September swims this year... (After everyone leaves!)
I tend to not be able to concentrate well while they are here, and got a bit to try to do to answer ads n stuff this week, makes sleeping n working at home very tough! Just keep telling yourself, It Won't Be Long Now... !
The rainfall is still less than 1/4th of an inch for the month here, very low n dry. My flowers are doing well lately, though, pretty red poppy, blue Bachelor Buttons, Brown-Eyed-Susan's and a few I haven't figured out yet... Still waiting on 2 types of Lavender (can't wait, so yummy smelling) basically, they're not dead yet... I'll get some seeds for next years, and perenials so won't need to keep replanting everywhere. Right when I thought the last of Mrs Jones's Aloe were finally all done thriving, they sprouted up new shoots and came back, I was very surprised. When we were in Marshfield, D & J mentioned they saw her death notice about two months ago in the Boston paper. I have her huge Jade tree also.

And the 'possum is still avoiding being caught with the loud people here so far, though likes to steal their animal food n manages to slip past the large dog to get it. Maybe they're only stupid when they're in the road, this one seems good at climbing up the wall... and is sly...
