Another uneventful day. Ted is feeling miserable and will
be more so during the next couple of months with a round of
doctor and dental appointments. I need to go with him most
of the time. It is a chore that I don't relish.

Rex has been unusually clinging since his teeth cleaning.
He is having a bark fest in the backyard at present because
the neighbors are swimming.

We had a big rain yesterday and the temperature has dropped
during the night. I struggled and kept the tomatoes alive
and now they are blooming again. A nice, juicy home grown
tomato is a beautiful experience.

I have all my fall preparations done, freezer defrosted,
some of the painting and staining done. I need to mulch
the flower beds but I have fertilized for the last time.
My Sil who is a mater gardener says not to dead head the
roses a week or so before the first freeze. I dried some
basil and rosemary but decided against a fall garden. I also took the car to Sears and had the battery replaced. I
don't like surprises.
