It is warm and drippy outside, this last day of July 2026. I spent part of the day drowning Japanese beetles in soapy water, part of the day getting a crown put on a broken tooth, and I started some sourdough loaves after dinner. We had chili for dinner.

I am so excited, DD comes home from camp tomorrow! She has been gone the last five nights and I miss her. A good part of the week was very hot and I know she didn’t have air conditioning in her cabin. I hope she had fun.

Our garden is coming along nicely. I am excited to have sunflowers, pumpkins, and cucumbers this year. We haven’t planted those in years!

July was ok. I am happy to move on to August now. I hope you had a wonderful July and your August is even better!
