Wax plant begonias growing in the back yard along the edge of the woods. I got them in late so they did not grow very big plus, it was very dry back there. You wouldn't think so with the stream not far from them. I guess the trees sucked up all the moisture. I watered but it was 100 degrees during July.
I didn't get much done today. I washed some clothes and noticed a mildew smell. I checked all around and found the spigot where the washer hose connects was leaking down the wall. I went to to see if Juan was available. He came and took a look to see what it needed. He tightened things up but had to go to work. He would get the parts and repair it when he got back.
Meanwhile, I updated my laptop. It had been turned off for awhile so I had to update the antivirus software. It took a while to upload and then scan it for viruses.
I ran around catching a lot of stink bugs. I try to catch as many as possible. I figure, one less to go around breeding thousands more.
I picked my ripe tomatoes and then sprayed the plants and trimmed what was hanging over the sidewalk. I put on long sleeves and wore rubber gloves. I washed with Naptha soap when I got done. I didn't want to take any chances of getting another rash.
Danny wanted to stay outside today. He spent most of his time on the deck. I bring him in when he starts barking. He likes to look out at the people walking by and the birds flocking up.
Juan didn't get back until 5pm. I needed to give Danny a bath but didn't want to do it until I heard from Juan. I didn't want to have to turn off the water in the middle of bathing him. Anyway, Juan had to take his son somewhere. I don't know if the boy plays soccer or something. He said he come tomorrow but I will be out all day at the Genealogy Seminar. I will come home at lunchtime to let Danny out and then go back. I should be home at 4:30 so Juan said he would come then.
After dinner, I gave Danny his bath. He doesn't seem to mind. He hops right in when I open the shower door. I hose him down, lather him up, rinse him off, apply the detangler, and rinse him again. I can't wait to get out. I dry him a little before opening the door. Then he jumps out and rubs his face on the towels I have on the floor for him. I dry him off as good as I can and then let him out of the bathroom. I hops on the bed that I have covered with towels and rubs his face some more. I use the hair dryer on him and get him as dry as possible. He plays with his toy while I dry him. He is a funny little dog.
