Another hot one on The Ridge!

Summer has been on and off this year and is currently back for a brief period, presenting us with a heat index one day of 102 degrees. What we really need is rain. This is surely going to go on record as one of the coolest summers in recorded history in Indiana.

The Japanese Beetles have also made an appearance. So far they can be handled just by picking them off.

Not much going on with us. Bonnie has been ill with flu/cold symptoms and Kathy postponed her sleepover with her mother twice to stay home and care for the pets so that Bonnie would not have to bother with them when she wasn't feeling well. The sickness has, of course, interfered with Bonnie's intention of building a small deck in the front of the cottage as well as other projects she may have wanted to accomplish before her classes begin on the 25th.

The grass is getting high again and we must get Don over to mow before we lose the dogs in the weeds again. Kathy hates to mow if there is a chance that Don will be over and all she would need to do is trim. Along the road is bad again also, and Kathy doesn't even want to think about trimming it up.

No other news here. We have just been lying low and hoping Bonnie will get to feeling better quickly.
