We had what seemed like a zillion tiny black bugs invade my little garden. I sprayed them with Sevin and most of
them died but a few tried to follow me in to the house. I
ended up spraying the back door as well and now it has a
combination of dog drool and black bugs on it. I need to
spray it with glass cleaner.

It has been very hot. One hundred or hovering near there
most days. We are due for some rain on Wed.

Henry came this morning. The grass was so high after the
nice rains we had last week. He brings his grandson and
has him outfitted with ear muffs and leather gloves. He
is nine and sullen as all get out. He does not have Henry's
work ethic and does his little jobs sloppily and in a very
grudging manner. Henry told Ted that he had paid this
child 600 dollars to help him over the summer but it
hasn't sweetened his disposition and it takes Henry ten
minutes longer to do the yard with grandson than
without him.

I went shopping with Ellie and the girls for school clothes.
Ashley is l2 and nearly six feet tall. She is wearing size
eleven shoes and they are pretty hard to find. It is hard
to believe that these little girls are growing up so fast.
She goes in for quantity and Adrienne prefers quality. I
hope they have good school years.
