Look for the helpers, they say. Tragedies all over the place. Lots of people are helping. The flooding in Texas was horrific.
Chores have been difficult these days. With the heat outside, and tennis inside in the morning, I'm not getting out in the cool of the morning, that terrific gardening time. I came in from gardening on July 10th and found two ticks on my neck and should. Adults, creepy crawlies, not attached yet. Popped into the tick jar! Dead as doornails.
Our clock radio wasn't bringing in a radio station. Caitlin even tried. I decided it was time to replace it.
I ordered this and thought it might work. It is just too big. Joe took it back for me. I plugged in the old one, as it is good knowing the time when you are up in the wee hours. Then, thinking I might as well, I tried for a radio station and it worked. I dunno. Joe returned the under mount radio for me.
Snapping a photo of the hydrangea, the deerflies wanted to be in the photo, as well. On the lens, in the upper middle blocking the clouds!
🎾We've been watching tennis. Speaking of heat, it's 30.5 ℃ at Wimbledon Tennis. Thursday, 3 people fainted or had episodes. The players sent a ball kid over with their cold bottled water and hope for the best. It happened again Friday. People just aren't used to this heat. We were 30 ℃ Friday. I wouldn't want to be sitting in the sun watching tennis. If you look at my photo, you can see what they make the camera crews wear. Green camouflage suits!
We had an issue with Mr. Bear. I spotted a termite or carpenter ant queen on his cap. Time to take bear off of the front deck.
I did the lawn, no ticks this time. I did leave some clods on the driveway. They sorta look like poopies! Only the coyotes feel comfortable enough to poop there!

Poor Mr. Bear. I'm glad he has a new spot to be. We're not having your heat but getting the haze from the Canadian fires. I hope they'll be under control soon.
What a trick to play on the clock radio. Of course it has to find stations after being upstaged by the big old monster radio! Glad Mr. Bear is far from your house now. It reminds me of my purchase of wood salad bowls once, which when brought home to my cupboard proceeded to have termites. Out they went fast!
No Wimbledon this morning, and it’s cool too. At least it was earlier. It’s 10 now.
Mr. Bear looks good in his new spot. My relatives over the pond are having a hard time with this heat. Air conditioning is not the norm over there. These floods are horrific! We have had a lot of rain with regular warnings about flash floods, nothing like these areas though. Everywhere is looking lush and green up your way. Happy to know Caitlin and JL had a fun night on the town. Hope you are able to stay cool. Always enjoy visiting. Thanks Jenn :)
The ticks would have me a bit freaked out.
Tennis, I would so love to be there for the finals, the runners up seem to be in two ideas, cry and be miserable or like Carlos, smile graciously, from what I saw. Yannik played so well. The heat, a friend is in B C right now, and 32C or more. Here, we will have a 3C and a 2C morning start!!! I am braving the driving for visiting each day, thankful it isn't too far, about 30 minutes.
fIt's easy to "fix" or find something by purchasing its replacement! Hope Mr. Bear doesn't get ants in his pants. Linda in Kansas
Aww, poor Mr Bear! It does look like he found a nice spot to hang out. Have a great day!
