EVEN WHEN IT IS HOT...

there is often something beautiful to behold! As I hope you will see what I mean at the end of this post.

The Towel Brigade is over. The towel inventory is now washed, dried, folded and neatly stored for normal use.
The central air conditioner drainage seems to be alleviated thanks to fast response from the company of our choice. The same-day response was rapid considering the time of year and midst of a heat wave, even if I did pay extra for travel and overtime.

Second, the telephone problems intensified Sunday with a faulty part at a central location, but the phone company fixed their part the self-same day and surprisingly called me ON SUNDAY to verify.

Today my husband is attempting to mend the damaged telephone wires beneath the house. In our state the company fixes the lines to the house, but the wiring system within the house is privately owned, i.e., we own it, we fix it.

The light fixture in one room is not yet fixed. BUT WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS! He is still painting outside, too.

My blood pressure is still worrisome and strange. It is highest and acting the weirdest in the morning upon awakening. I do have some emergency meds to lower it quickly. I carry a few tablets everywhere I go. At least a pattern is forming so maybe someone will figure it out.

I have several related tests next week.

One or two days of the intense heat this past week, I ventured for only a few minutes outside to shoot a few snapshots--no time for artistic planning. I also took one or two inside the nice cool kitchen.

English Ivy

mail order sprout
about 15 years ago!
Naked Ladies
(Surprise Lilies)
Red Roses surviving the English Ivy over growth
from a plant  on our lot when we purchased it.
This is a hardy rose as we never prune nor feed it.
I think it may be a climber, too.
You might see a Naked Lady bulb
