We don't have the beetles yet this summer, but they will eventually get here and then it's like fighting fire. We've had so much rain this summer the gnats are really bad. What do you think would work for them? They swarm the doors at night when the lights are on and get inside. The next morning all the windowsills have to be vacumned.Joy Tiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183952085695405635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-5904256962808469282011-07-08T05:47:24.977-05:002011-07-08T05:47:24.977-05:00Hope you finally have something that will get rid ...Hope you finally have something that will get rid of the beetles.

I see June bugs flying around but so far have noticed no Japenese beetles-they remind me of each other.<br /><br />DH and I both had appts. for pedicures this morning. This is the second one for him and I made him an appt. for next month. He has some neuropathy in his feet (diabetic) and she is wonderful with her foot massages too. <br /><br />DH had ran one of the tractors out of diesel fuel this morning so I helped him get it going when we got home. <br /><br />Time for a nap and then we have two visitations at the funeral home later.Bev J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18075881108883630511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-47059734762590172972011-07-07T10:53:49.587-05:002011-07-07T10:53:49.587-05:00Beautiful lily!

Wow you're 'wonder woman'...sounds like you've been busy but your place will look wonderful and your flowers and veggies will thank you. We got a bit of rain around 4 this morning so I wonder if it hit you later. We needed it as we're about 4 inches short of rain for the year. It's cool today for a change but will be back into the triple digits come the weekend. Can't wait for fall! Have a wonderful day....<br />Maura :)Maura @ Kisiwa Creek Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992187526413563417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-32634028313098323182011-07-07T09:47:26.610-05:002011-07-07T09:47:26.610-05:00I love the passionate attack, like a superhero.

You are right, 20 miles from a city and 5-7 to local stores is perfect! Perhaps, my new "corner" will be similar...:)JPjp@A Green Ridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15217268829093983376noreply@blogger.com
