Have to have the house leveled... say what? Is the ground sinking? The foundation dissolving? I've been watching too many weird movies, I guess.

LOL Daryl amen on those miserable 6 legged vultures. Cyndi - I figure it's just too boring to say - hi guys, still hotter than bejesus here. watering again. yadda, yadda. every friggin' day. My HCG order comes in the week of 9/20 so may have something interesting (or at least different) to share by then. Oh, I do have to have the back of the house leveled here in a few 
weeks, it's really dropped in the past month.
But this is also kind of boring I guess.....

It's too hot here in Georgia. Except for 2 days, we've had months with every day over 90 and most nights in the mid 70's. And the mosquitoes are really fierce. Just going out to get the mail is letting ones self in for a bloodletting. I was out taking a few pictures this morning and got 3 on my 
forehead with one slap.

Pretty quiet - is it too hot for anyone to be gardening? It has been

over 100 for five or six days here.
I didn't do much last weekend myself. Saturday I started pulling out the onions. This year I grew a variety called Candy as well as Texas 1015. I think the sweet onions needed more water than I was providing since a lot of them split. I still have a lot of onions, I filled up the extra 
fridge and then started looking for other preserving options.
I went for my usual Sunday morning hike too. While we were away at the end of July a big fire went through that area which is not far from my 
house. We had no cell service where we were so we were blissfully
ignorant. On the way home I listened to anxious voicemails from the
pet-sitter "I'm in my car on your street and I can see the flames at the top of the hill...they haven't evacuated yet...I don't know what to do about your sheep..." There's a couple miles of tract housing between us and open space. I have always figured that if fire came up over those hills the fire department would throw everything they could at it so it did not get into the tract houses, and so they did, but it got right up 
to the backyards. They made fantastic efforts to save houses in the
hills so there was very little lost. But it's pretty ugly now where we hike, I guess we will have to content ourselves with watching it grow 
back.
My pond, which is a galvanized stock tank, has developed a slow leak. I've decided to get rid of it instead of replacing it, I have enjoyed 
the pond but it does take time to keep nice. Just have to figure out
what to do with the goldfish.
