my columbine has aphids. They aren’t on the snapdragons, or the violas, or the fuschias. Just on the columbine.

I hate to use pesticides, maybe I’ll have to see about buying some ladybugs - we don’t seem to have many around here, probably because we normally don’t have any aphids!

the new dog behind when going to town, as he howls/bays while we’re gone. But it’s too hot to take him.

I’m ALSO not happy with the people who left a note on the jeep windshield about it - since we had to listen to THEIR 3 or 4 yappy little rat-dogs for YEARS while they ran all over the country.

They can stuff a sock in it. Ficklins, yes, this means YOU.

which needs service and checking to see why it feels “loose” when driven. Right now it’s not getting to go over about 50 because of the way it feels…. Once we get THAT out of the way, then it has to have the AC fixed - I can’t go in it in the summer, it’s too darn hot without AC. I don’t do heat well AT ALL….

how to go UP the stairs from the basement. Down may be an entirely different thing….

(upgrade) from Amazon - $225 shipped. Not bad. Now if it just comes out on time…. I ordered it to arrive on the release date - we’ll see how that works, considering where I live….
